Let be a nest algebra of operators on some Hilbert space H. Weakly closed -modules were first studied by J. Erdos and S. Power in [4]. It became apparent that many interesting classes of non self-adjoint operator algebras arise as just such a module. This paper undertakes a systematic investigation of the correspondence which arises between such modules and order homomorphisms from Lat into itself. This perspective provides a basis to answer some open questions arising from [4]. In particular, the questions concerning unique “determination” and characterization of maximal and minimal elements under this correspondence, are resolved. This is then used to establish when the determining homomorphism is unique.
