Summary: Let T be a contraction in the class

$\mathbb A$ acting on a Hilbert space. Sufficient conditions in terms of the multiplicity of certain natural unitary operators associated with the

$C_{0\cdot}$ ,

$C_{\cdot 0}$ ,

$C_{1\cdot}$ or

$C_{\cdot 1}$ part of T are given to ensure that T belongs to the class

$\mathbb A_{n,m}, n, m \in \mathbb N*$ . Along the way we obtain new relations between the boundary sets involved in arbitrary triangulations of T.
