Abstract
We introduce exchange natural equivalences of iterated nonholonomic, holonomic and semiholonomic jet functors, depending on a classical linear connection on the base manifold. We also classify some natural transformations of this type. As an application we introduce prolongation of higher order connections to jet bundles.
