  The abstraction of the study of stochastic processes to Banach lattices and
vector lattices has received much attention by Grobler, Kuo, Labuschagne,
Stoica, Troitsky and Watson over the past fifteen years. By contrast mixing
processes have received very little attention. In particular mixingales were
generalized to the Riesz space setting in {\sc W.-C. Kuo, J.J. Vardy, B.A.
Watson,} Mixingales on Riesz spaces, {\em J. Math. Anal. Appl.}, \textbf{402}
(2013), 731-738. The concepts of strong and uniform mixing as well as related
mixing inequalities were extended to this setting in {\sc W.-C. Kuo, M.J.
Rogans, B.A. Watson,} Mixing inequalities in Riesz spaces, {\em J. Math. Anal.
Appl.}, \textbf{456} (2017), 992-1004. In the present work we formulate the
concept of near-epoch dependence for Riesz space processes and show that if a
process is near-epoch dependent and either strong or uniform mixing then the
process is a mixingale, giving access to a law of large numbers. The above is
applied to autoregessive processes of order 1 in Riesz spaces.
