We introduce a concept of countably strong inclusions ${\triangleleft}$ and that of ${\triangleleft}-{\sigma}$-ideals and prove that the subframe $S({\triangleleft})$ of the frame ${\sigma}IdL$ of ${\sigma}$-ideals is a Lindel$\ddot{o}$fication of a frame L. We also deal with conditions for which the converse holds. We show that any countably approximating regular $D({\aleph}_1)$ frame has the smallest countably strong inclusion and any frame which has the smallest $D({\aleph}_1)$ Lindel$\ddot{o}$fication is countably approximating regular $D({\aleph}_1)$.

Generalizing $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames and almost compact frames, we introduce a concept of almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames. Using a concept of ${\delta}$-filters on frames, we characterize almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames and then have their permanence properties. We also show that almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ regular $D({\aleph}_1)$ frames are exactly $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames. Finally we construct an almost $Lindel{\ddot{o}}fication$ of a frame L via the simple extension of L associated with the set of all ${\delta}$-filters F on L with ${\bigvee}\{x^*{\mid}x{\in}F\}=e$.
