Lindelöf property and absolute embeddings

It is proved that a Tychonoff space is Lindelöf if and only if whenever a Tychonoff space contains two disjoint closed copies and of , then these copies can be separated in by open sets. We also show that a Tychonoff space is weakly -embedded (relatively normal) in every larger Tychonoff space if and only if is either almost compact or Lindelöf (normal almost compact or Lindelöf).
