ladder connected (Definition)

Definition Suppose $ X$ is a topological space. Then $ X$ is called ladder connected provided that any open cover $ \mathcal{U}$ of $ X$ has the following property: If $ p,q\in X$, then there exists a finite number of open sets $ U_1,\ldots, U_N$ from $ \mathcal{U}$ such that $ p\in U_1$, $ U_1\cap U_2\neq \emptyset$, $ \ldots$ , $ U_{N-1}\cap U_N\neq\emptyset$, and $ q\in U_N$.
