Let $M$ be a smooth manifold. Let's call $M$ quasi-seperated if $M$ has the following property: If $B,C subseteq M$ are open balls, then $B cap C subseteq M$ is a finite(!) union of open balls. By an open ball I mean an open submanifold, which is diffeomorphic to some $D^n$.
Is every manifold quasi-separated? If not, are open balls quasi-separated? Is there a simple characterization of quasi-separated manifolds?
