Abstract: We consider conditions which force a well-quasi-ordered poset (wqo) to be better-quasi-ordered (bqo). In particular we obtain that if a poset P is wqo and the set Somega(P) of strictly increasing sequences of elements of P is bqo under domination, then P is bqo. As a consequence, we get the same conclusion if Somega(P) is replaced by mathcalJ1(P), the collection of non-principal ideals of P, or by AM(P), the collection of maximal antichains of P ordered by domination. It then follows that an interval order which is wqo is in fact bqo.
