    The classical Neat Embedding Theorem (NET) says that a cylindric algebra \(A \in\) CA\(_\alpha\) is representable by cylindric set algebras if and only if it has the neat embedding property: \(A\) is neatly embeddable into an algebra in CA\(_{\alpha+\varepsilon}\) with \(\varepsilon \geq \omega\). The Resek-Thompson representation theorem has called attention to another kind of representation -- by algebras in Crs\(_\alpha\), i.e., by cylindric relativized set algebras. In the paper, the author finds several counterparts of the classical NET for this kind of representation. In particular, an algebra \(A \in\) CA\(_\alpha\) is representable by an algebra in Crs\(_\alpha \cap\) CA\(_\alpha\) if and only if \(A\) is neatly embeddable into an algebra from a certain ``transit class'' M\(^\alpha_{\alpha+\varepsilon}\) between CA\(_\alpha\) and Crs\(_\alpha \cap\) CA\(_\alpha\). Connections between the obtained results and the Resek-Thomson theorem are also analysed in the paper. The author notes that ideas underlying his proofs and the proof of the theorem in [\textit{H. Andréka} and \textit{R. J. Thompson}, ``A Stone type representation theorem for algebras of relations of higher rank'', Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 309, No. 2, 671--682 (1988; Zbl 0707.03053)] are completely different, and that his results can be adapted to quasi-polyadic and polyadic equality algebras.
