Although the majority of the known eclipsing binaries are in systems which consist of only the two eclipsing components, a significant number of them do occur as components of triple star systems or higher order multiple star systems. In this context this term is restricted to those systems whose components are in closed orbits. A recent survey of visual binaries with variable components is that by Proust et al. (1981), which details about 300 systems. Walker (1979) has also prepared a list of variables as components of double star systems, and this includes numerous systems not included in other lists.
