It is well known that BRST symmetry plays a fundamental role in constructing quantum gauge theories. Yet, at the classical level, it constitutes the modern language to study constrained systems. First, this letter reviews the Sp(2) covariant quantisation of gauge theories, so that the geometrical interpretation of gauge theories in terms of quasi-principal fibre bundles Q(Ms, Gs) is the main scenario. It is then described the Sp(2) algebra for ordinary Yang-Mills theory. Some basic set theory and topology terms are reviewed to proceed then to use theorems on left inverse and right inverse of functions together with groups (Ms, Gs) to have triangular compositions of functions on manifolds. Henceforth, it is so the purpose of this letter to present topological structures to gauge theories, in particular to construct commutative diagrams for cocycle conditions of the Sp(2) symmetry.
