The aim of this note is to generalize to an arbitrary partially ordered set (poset) (P, ≦) the standard lattice results on the Jordan–Dedekind Chain Condition (abbreviated hereafter to J.D.C.C.). Birkhoff [1] defines semimodularity for a lattice L by

(ξ) if x, y cover a and x # y, then xy covers x and y.
