We consider a large class of ``natural" generalizations of Grundhöfer's synthetic definition of incidence in Figueroa planes. We determine which of these generalized definitions produce projective planes and which do not. We show that those few which do produce projective planes produce only Pappian planes or Figueroa planes.
