[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00015.] The author proves a result that generalizes some of his previous results on the existence of heteroclinic orbits for natural Hamiltonian systems with smooth periodic potentials (modelling for instance a compound pendulum) and that extends also a theorem of Hofer and Wysocki. The proof involves ideas of the author already presented in a previous paper and also some arguments from a recent work by Felmer. The main result shows that given two points in the set of all (isolated) maximum points of the potential, there exists a ``chain of heteroclinic orbits joining the two given points. The approach is a variational one.
