Abstract: We deal with the construction of linear connections associated with second order ordinary differential equations with and without first order constraints. We use a novel method allowing glueing of submodule covariant derivatives to produce new, closed form expressions for the Massa-Pagani connection and our extension of it to the constrained case.
