A NEW DOUBT arose in a previous question, so I am posting it again since the previous edits did not draw views.
Let $X_n$ be random elements of $D$ (space of cad lag functions on $[0,1]$ as domain). $X_n$ has asymptotically independents if $0\leq s_1 \leq t_1 \leq s_2 \leq \ldots < s_r \leq t_r \leq 1$, then for all linear Borel sets $H_1,\ldots,H_r$ we have
$P\{X_n(t_i)-X_n(s_i)\in H_i, i = 1,\ldots,r \}-\prod_{i=1}^{r}P\{X_n(t_i)-X_n(s_i)\in H_i\} \star$
converges to zero as $n\to\infty$. Now Theorem $19.2$ in Billingsley's book on convergence of probability measures reads
Let $X_n$ have the following properties,
asymptotically independent increments,
$\{X_n^{2}(t)\}$ is uniformly integrable for each $t$,
$E\{X_n(t)\}\to 0$, $E\{X_n^{2}(t)\}\to t$ as $n\to\infty$,
Also for each positive $\epsilon$ and $\eta$, there exists a positive $\delta$ such that $P\{w(X_n,\delta)\geq \epsilon\}\leq \eta$ for all sufficiently large $n$.
Then $X_n \to W$ (Wiener measure/process).
Its proof seems pretty standard, I had one doubt in it. Tightness of $\{X_n\}$ follows from condition $4$, which also implies that if $X$ is a limit point, then $P(X\in C) = 1$. It remains to show that $X$ has distribution of $W$.
Conditions $2,3$ ensure that $E\{X(t)\} = 0$ and $E\{X^{2}(t)\} = t$. Next is written that Condition $1$ implies that increments of $X(t)$ are independent.
NEW DOUBT
The following doubt in relaxing the condition $t_i <s_{i+1}$ using the fact $\mathbb{P}(X \in C) = 1$. Let us consider the case of only $3$ points in time, i.e. $0,s,t$, where assume that $0<s<t$. My intuition is that this case will entail the main idea. We would like to show that
$\mathbb{P}(X_s \in H_1, X_t-X_s \in H_2) = \mathbb{P}(X_s \in H_1)\mathbb{P}(X_t-X_s \in H_2) \star$.
Also we are given that if $s_1 <s$, then
$\mathbb{P}(X_{s_{1}} \in A, X_t-X_s \in B) = \mathbb{P}(X_{s_{1}} \in A)\mathbb{P}(X_t-X_s \in B) \star\star$.
Using the fact that $\mathbb{P}(X\in C) = 1$, we can write
$\{X_s \in H_1, X_t-X_s \in H_2 \}\equiv \{X_{s^{-}} \in H_1, X_t-X_s \in H_2 \}\equiv \cap_{k=1}^{\infty}\cup_{m=1}^{\infty}E_{k,m}\cap\{X_t-X_s \in H_2\}$
where $E_{k,m} := \{X_l \in B_{\frac{1}{k},H_1} 1-\frac{1}{m}\leq l<s \}$,and $B_{\frac{1}{k},H_1}$ denotes an open ball of radius $\frac{1}{k}$ around the set $H_1$. Now I know that I have to use $\star \star$ somehow, but cannot proceed.
