A technical property based on comparison with ODEs is added to the definition of
uniform complete guiding set in order to assure the existence of an a priori bounded
solution for a class of finite-delay equations. Some examples constitute a sample of
the applicability of this result. In particular, Landesman-Lazer type conditions
guaranteing a bounded solution for an n-order escalar equation are refined.
