This paper generalizes the notion of symmetrical neighbourhoods, which have been used to define connectivity in the case of sets, to the wider framework of complete lattices having a sup-generating family. Two versions (weak and strong) of the notion of a symmetrical dilation are introduced, and they are applied to the generation of ``connected components'' from the so-called ``geodesic dilations''. It turns out that any ``climbing'' ``weakly symmetrical'' extensive dilation induces a ``geodesic'' connectivity. When the lattice is the one of subsets of a metric space, the connectivities which are obtained in this way may coincide with the usual ones under some conditions, which are clarified. The abstract theory can be applied to grey-level and colour images, without any assumption of translation-invariance of operators.
