We study in this paper the notion of conditional relative importance in a quantitative framework. Bi-capacities are shown to be suitable to represent such a notion. We restrict ourself to the case when the relative importance of two criteria is conditional on a third being attractive or repulsive. We give two algorithms that enable to construct the neutral level from the preference relation.
