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 \`a la Arkhangel'ski\u{\i}.
