There are four types of order which are important in geometry and other branches of mathematics: (la) linear order with a definite sense along the line (theory of serial order); (lb) linear order without distinction of sense (theory of betweenness); (2a) circular order with a definite sense around the circle (theory of cyclic order); and (2b) circular order without distinction of sense (theory of separation of pairs of points). The present note is concerned with type (2a): cyclic order. Let us consider a class K of elements A, B, C, . . . , and a triadic relation R(ABC). The class K may be said to be cyclically ordered by the relation R if the following postulates are satisfied:
