Cp(YX)C_{p}\left( Y|X\right) denotes the real-valued continuous functions on YXY\subseteq X having continuous extensions to a Tychonoff space XX, with pointwise topology inherited from Cp(Y)C_{p}(Y). We recently proved Cp(Y)C_{p}(Y) is distinguished \Leftrightarrow it is a large subspace of RY\mathbb{R}^{Y}. We prove Cp(YX)C_{p}\left( Y|X\right) is always a large subspace of Cp(Y)C_{p}(Y). Thus Cp(YX)C_{p}\left( Y|X\right) is always quasibarrelled; always has a feral strong dual; has a quasibarrelled countable enlargement \Leftrightarrow YY is infinite; is distinguished \Leftrightarrow Cp(Y)C_{p}(Y) is distinguished; is a Montel space \Leftrightarrow YY is discrete and CC-embedded in XX. `Nice' countable covers for Cp(YX)C_{p}\left( Y|X\right) yield potent summary theorems that solve open problems, characterize PP-spaces anew, and complete the list of Velichko variations. For example, Summary III: Assume YY is dense in XX. YY is a PP-space, or XX is pseudocompact, or both \Leftrightarrow Cp(YX)C_{p}\left( Y|X\right) is countably covered by sets that are, respectively, relatively sequentially complete in Cp(Y)C_{p}(Y), or bounded, or both. Putting Y=XY=X, one quickly comprehends Velichko variations à la Arkhangel'skiĭ.
