The relationship with one point is mainly with the frame as there is nothing else but with two points the relationships is between the points that dominate the image. When you look at the picture the eye is drawn from one point to the other setting up an implied line and direction in the picture. Usually one point will attract more attention than the other because it may be bigger, appears nearer or is closer to the centre.
In the pictures below the relationship between the points is illustrated.
Your attention is drawn to the bird in the front because of positioning but also because of his colouring. It is easier to see.
The relationship between these points illustrated by the blue arrow.
The relationship is between the 2 guys running. The image is equally balanced and attention drawn to each runner. If one was ahead of the other our attention would be divided and focus on the runner closer to us.
The arrow illustrates the relationship between these points.
In this shot the attention is on the man nearest the foreground. We can see what he is doing and he is looking into the shot whereas the other man is looking away.
The relationship between these points is highlighted by the blue arrow.
There is a special case where both points attract equal attention and thiscan be seen if you take a close up of someone's eyes where they are equidistant from the centre of the image as below.
In this image we cannot resolve the composition and this leads to tension in the image.
