Dear,

Note that the "mutating table " is actually protecting us from nasty mistakes. You may be on a dangereous path if you are trying to circumvent it with an autonomous transaction ...

Tom Kyte discusses the issue at length in his (highly recommended) books. If you don't have them, you may want to browse the articles at
http://asktom.oracle.com - search for "mutating table"

You will - notably - find there an article documenting a pattern to achieve your goal.
