Let  E \,E\, be an ideal of  Lo \,L^{\rm o}\, over a  σ\,\sigma-finite measure space  (Ω,Σ,μ)\,(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu), and let  (X,∥⋅∥X) \,(X, \norm \cdot \norm_X)\, be a real Banach space. Let  E(X) \,E(X)\, be a subspace of the space  Lo(X) \,L^{\rm o}(X)\, of  μ\,\mu-equivalence classes of all strongly  Σ\,\Sigma-measurable functions  f:  Ω⟶X \,f:\; \Omega\longrightarrow X\, and consisting of all those  f∈Lo(X) \,f\in L^{\rm o}(X)\, for which the scalar function  ∥f(⋅)∥X \,\norm f(\cdot) \norm_X\, belongs to  E\,E. Let  E(X)n∼ \,E(X)_n^{\sim}\, stand for the order continuous dual of  E(X)\,E(X). In this paper we characterize both conditionally  σ(E(X),I)\,\sigma(E(X),I)-compact and relatively  σ(E(X),I)\,\sigma(E(X), I)-sequentially compact subsets of  E(X) \,E(X)\, whenever  I \,I\, is an ideal of  E(X)n∼\,E(X)_n^{\sim}. As an application, we obtain a characterization of almost reflexivity and reflexivity of a Banach space  X \,X\, in terms of conditionally  σ(E(X),I)\,\sigma(E(X), I)-compact and relatively  σ(E(X),I)\,\sigma(E(X), I)-sequentially compact subsets of  E(X)\,E(X).
