We study dynamical systems for which at most $n$ orbits can accompany a given arbitrary orbit. For simplicity we call them $n$-expansive (or positively $n$-expansive if positive orbits are considered instead). We prove that these systems can satisfy properties of expansive systems or not. For instance, unlike positively expansive maps [3], positively $n$-expansive homeomorphisms may exist on certain infinite compact metric spaces. We also prove that a map (resp. bijective map) is positively $n$-expansive (resp. $n$-expansive) if and only if it is so outside finitely many points. Finally, we prove that a homeomorphism on a compact metric space is $n$-expansive if and only if it is so outside finitely many orbits. These last resuls extends previous ones for expansive systems [2],[11],[12].
