  This article extends the recent study of the cardinal functions $F_{\theta}$
and $t_{\theta}$ for H-closed Urysohn spaces and the research of I. Bandlov and
V.I. Ponomarev on tightness type of absolutes. In particular, basic results are
obtained and used to study the relationships among the cardinal functions $t$,
$t_{\theta}$, $F$ and $F_{\theta}$ in the context of Iliadis and Banaschewski
absolutes of Hausdorff spaces.
