In (5),I considered two-term conditions in π-exact couples, of which the exact couple of Federer (7) is an example. Let M(X, Y)be the space of all maps from X to Y with the compact-open topology. Our aim in this paper is to construct a π-exact couple , where Xis a finite-dimensional (in the sense of Lebesgue) metric space and , a certain (rather large) class of spaces. Specifically, is the class of all topological spaces Xwhich possess the following property (P).

(P) Let Y be a (possibly infinite) simplicial complex. There exists x0 ∈ X and y0 ∊ Y such that [X, x0]≃ [Y, y0].

In § 5 it will be seen that contains all CW complexes and all metric absolute neighbourhood retracts (ANR)s.
