Abstract: Let M be a compressionbody containing a graph T (with at least one edge) such that �oundary_+ M is parallel to the union of T and �oundary_- M. We extend methods of Hayashi and Shimokawa to classify bridge surfaces for T. The results of this paper are used in later work to show that if a bridge surface for a graph in a 3-manifold is c-weakly reducible then either a degenerate situation occurs or the exterior of the graph contains an essential meridional surface.
