Let \(X,Y\) be topological spaces and \(\Sigma\) be the reduced suspension functor. The author investigates the commutators in the group \([\Sigma X,Y]\) for \(X=S^m\cup e^n\cup e^{m+n-k}\), \(0\leq k< m+1< n\). If \(q:X\to B = X/S^m\) and \(p:X\to B/S^n\) are projections and \(X\) is of type \(a\) (i.e. \(e^m\cup e^n= ae^{m+n-k}\) in \(H^* (X;\mathbb{Z})\)) then for \(\alpha\in [\Sigma X,Y]\), \(\beta\in [\Sigma B,Y]\) the following relation is established: \[ \alpha+\beta\circ \Sigma q= \beta\circ\Sigma q+\alpha+ a[\alpha_{| S^{m+1}}, \beta_{| S^{n+1}}]\circ \Sigma p. \] The author deduces two conditions in which \([\Sigma X,Y]\) is abelian.
