If you select this option, a classify distance, destination classification, and a determination of how to handle closed lines must be selected.

Points are classified using a "Within a Distance of" spatial relationship. Points that are within the specified classify distance are assigned to the selected classification. You may select whether closed lines are treated as polygons or polylines. If you treat closed lines as polygons, all points within the closed line are considered zero distance and satisfies the within a distance of relationship. Thus all points within closed lines when using the option will be assigned to the destination classification.
