Abstract: We present a triangulation--independent area--ordering prescription which naturally generalizes the well known path ordering one. For such a prescription it is natural that the two--form ``connection should carry three ``color indices rather than two as it is in the case of the ordinary one--form gauge connection. To define the prescription in question we have to define how to {it exponentiate} a matrix with three indices. The definition uses the fusion rule structure constants.
