Hereditary classes defined by finitely many excluded induced subgraphs have bounded tree-α iff they are (tw,ω)-bounded, i.e., exclude K_{a,a}, forests with components of at most three leaves, and their line graphs.

An edge-colored complete graph that avoids a monochromatic induced complete join can be partitioned into boundedly many simple pieces, in any number of overlapping colors.
The class of graphs with no induced subdivision of H has bounded clique-width if and only if H is an induced subgraph of P4, paw, or diamond.

Tree-alpha and excluding finitely many graphs
