Prolongation of second order connections to vertical Weil bundles

We study systematically the prolongation of second order connections in the sense of C. Ehresmann from a fibered manifold into its vertical bundle determined by a Weil algebra A . In certain situations we deduce new properties of the prolongation of first order connections. Our original tool is a general concept of a B -field for another Weil algebra B and of its A -prolongation.
