Abstract
The Grzegorczyk function classes E^n have been studied in the classical theory of computability and structurized into a strict hierarchy. To these classes $\E^n$, the relation classes $\RE^n$ are associated.  They also constitute a hierarchy which is proved not to collapse from n=2:  \RE^2 \subsetneq \RE^3 \subsetneq ....\subsetneq \RE^n \subsetneq .....]
In [GAKWAYA,1997], the definition of the Grzegorczyk classes has been extended into a new model of computability: the BSS setting. Some results are provided, in particular that these new classes, called $\overline{\mathcal{E}}^n_R$, make a strict hierarchy.  The aim of this paper is to show that a well chosen extension of the classes $\overline{\mathcal{E}}^n_R$
allows us to define a universal function~$\Phi$. This function $\Phi$ distinguishes some relation classes associated to the extended classes $\overline{\mathcal{E}}^n_R$ in a very similar way to the classical case.
