*Definition [#if562447] A subspace Y of a space X is 2-countably paracompact in X if for every countable open cover U of X, there exists a collection V of open subsets of X with &ref(http://www.eaflux.com/imgtex/imgtex.fcgi?%5bres=100%5d%7b$Y%5csubset%5ccup%20V$%7d%25.png); such that V is a [[partial refinement]] of U and V is [[locally finite]] at each point of Y. *Remark [#td546fd2] -It is not a property for topological spaces but subspaces. *Reference [#d34ff84f] -Y.
