The approximation in the uniform norm of a continuous function f(x) = f(x₁,...,xₙ) by continuous sums g₁(h₁(x)) + g₂(h₂(x)), where the functions h₁ and h₂ are fixed, is considered. A Chebyshev type criterion for best approximation is established in terms of paths with respect to the functions h₁ and h₂.
