The main purpose of this paper is to show that there exists a Souslin line if and only if there exists a countable chain condition space which is not weak-separable but has a generic π-base. If I is the closure of the isolated points in a space X, then X is said to be weak-separable if a first category set is dense in X – I. A π-base is said to be generic if, whenever a member of is included in the disjoint union of members of it is included in one of them.

It has long been known that the existence of a Souslin line entails (and is entailed by) the existence of a Souslin tree; indeed such a tree can be built from the open subsets of the line in a natural way. It will be shown that less onerous restrictions on a topological space than orderability allow the construction to proceed. For example, to the expected requirements-that the space satisfy the countable chain condition and not be separable, one can add the hypothesis of local connectivity, and that either first category sets be nowhere dense or that nowhere dense sets be separable.

A connection between the separability and the countable chain condition of spaces withL-property (a topological spaceXhasL-property if for every topological spaceY, separately continuous functionf:X×Y→ℝand open setI⊆ℝ,the setf−1(I)is anFσ-set) is studied. We show that every completely regular Baire space with theL-property and the countable chain condition is separable and constructs a nonseparable completely regular space with theL-property and the countable chain condition. This gives a negative answer to a question of M. Burke.
