One of the most powerful tools in homotopy theory is the homotopy groups of a triad introduced by Blakers and Massey in [1]. Our aim here is to develop systematically the formal, elementary aspects of the theory of a generalized triad and the mapping track associated with it. This will be used in §5 to deduce a result (Theorem 5.5) which seems to be closely related to an exact sequence established by Brown [2].
