Can I make a spline both smoothing *and* periodic?

Hi all,
I would like to make a smoothing spline through data, and enforce point and gradient equality at either end of my spline. Here's the data:
XYpts = [...
10 5 -5 -10 -5 0 10
0 9 9 0 -9 0 0];
figure, plot(XYpts(1,:), XYpts(2,:),'bo')
axis equal, grid on, hold on
And here I can do a smoothing spline without the constraints to make it periodic (note that it smooths the original data nicely, but meets a nasty sharp turn at the end):
dt = sum((diff(XYpts,[],2).^2));
t = cumsum([0,dt.^(0.25)]);
smoothingSpline = spaps(t,XYpts,1);
fnplt(smoothingSpline,'-r.')
And here I can do an interpolating spline with the correct continuity constraints I'm looking for:
interpolatingSpline = csape(t,XYpts,'periodic')
fnplt(interpolatingSpline,'-g.')
But neither of these do both at the same time (smooth the data and enforce continuity). Can you help?
The only way I can think of so far is a bit messy: repeat the starting/ending points of my data so that the smoothed spline wraps back over itself, and then only sample it within the "original" domain. Is there a better/cleaner way?
Thanks, Sven.
