Abstract: In this paper we study a notion of HL-extension (HL standing for Herwig--Lascar) for a structure in a finite relational language mathcalL. We give a description of all finite minimal HL-extensions of a given finite mathcalL-structure. In addition, we study a group-theoretic property considered by Herwig--Lascar and show that it is closed under taking free products. We also introduce notions of coherent extensions and ultraextensive mathcalL-structures and show that every countable mathcalL-structure can be extended to a countable ultraextensive structure. Finally, it follows from our results that the automorphism group of any countable ultraextensive mathcalL-structure has a dense locally finite subgroup.
