Some important notions in the theory of binary relations such as the relative product of two relations and the converse of a relation are defined in Whitehead and Russell’s “Principia mathematica” ([1]). McKinsey ([2]) and Tarski ([3]) gave their systems of postulates for the calculus of relations. Ore studied on equivalence relations ([4]) and Riguet on closures (fermeture) of relations ([5] and [6]), and they obtained remarkable results on the structure of these relations. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relative properties of some relations to each other, whose notions are closely related to the notions given by Riguet.
