Jan 18, 2020 at 20:01 comment added Peter May @Gustavo, right you are, but we (or at least I) don't have access to Lemma 2 in the source: the question has two answers, depending on that. Of course, rectification of this first step to a Postnikov tower is where the real math lies either way.
Jan 18, 2020 at 17:40 comment added Gustavo Granja I suppose that in the construction of the spaces $Y_n^{(k)}$ you don't just attach cells for a set of generators of the homotopy group in question but rather attach a cell for each continuous map from $S^{k}$ to $Y_n^{(k-1)}$. This is the canonical thing to do (it is functorial as it involves no choices). With this construction it is indeed true that $Y_{n+1}$ is contained in $Y_n$ for the reason given.
