We give a necessary and sufficient condition of a rationally elliptic space X such that the Dold-Lashof classifying space Baut1X for fibrations with the fiber X is rank one. It is only when X has the rational homotopy type of a sphere or the total space of a spherical fibration over a product of spheres.

Firstly we consider preorders (not necessarily partial orders) on a canonical quotient of the set of the homotopy classes of continuous maps between two spaces induced by a certain equivalence relation ${\sim}_{{\varepsilon}R}$. Secondly we apply it to a classification of orientable fibrations over Y with fibre X. In the classification theorem of J. Stasheff [22] and G. Allaud [3], they use the set $[Y,\;Baut_1X]$ of homotopy classes of continuous maps from Y to $Baut_1X$, which is the classifying space for fibrations with fibre X due to A. Dold and R. Lashof [11]. In this paper we give a classification of fibrations using a preordered set (abbr., proset) structure induced by $[Y,\;Baut_1X]_{{\varepsilon}R}:=[Y,\;Baut_1X]/{\sim}_{{\varepsilon}R}$.
