The topology of abstract 2-metric (area-metric) spaces has been the object of study in recent papers of Gähler (1) and Froda (2). The geometric properties of such spaces, however, have remained largely untouched since the initial work of Menger (3). As in ordinary metric spaces, a notion of 2-betweenness, or interiorness, can be easily defined in 2-metric spaces. In abstract metric spaces the betweenness relation is characterized among all relations defined on each triple of points of every metric space by six natural properties (4, pp. 33-40; 5). The purpose of this paper is to prove a similar theorem characterizing the relation of 2-betweenness in 2-metric spaces.
