Two extensions of X are said to be equivalent if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes X pointwise. For two (equivalence classes of) extensions Y and Y' of X let Y ≤ Y' if there is a continuous mapping of Y' into Y which fixes X pointwise. Let 𝓟 be a topological property. An extension Y of X is called a 𝓟-extension of X if it has 𝓟. If 𝓟 is compactness then 𝓟-extensions are called compactifications. The aim of this article is to introduce and study classes of extensions (which we call compactification-like 𝓟-extensions, where 𝓟 is a topological property subject to some mild requirements) which resemble the classes of compactifications of locally compact spaces.
