+\begin{lemma}
+Let $\tilde{e} :  G_*^{i,m} \to \bc_*(X)$ be a chain map constructed like $e$ above, but with
+different choices of $V$ (and hence also different choices of $x'$) at each step.
+If $m \ge 1$ then $e$ and $\tilde{e}$ are homotopic.
+If $m \ge 2$ then any two choices of this first-order homotopy are second-order homotopic.
+And so on.
+In other words,  $e :  G_*^{i,m} \to \bc_*(X)$ is well-defined up to $m$-th order homotopy.
+\end{lemma}
+
+\begin{proof}
+We construct $h: G_*^{i,m} \to \bc_*(X)$ such that $\bd h + h\bd = e - \tilde{e}$.
+$e$ and $\tilde{e}$ coincide on bidegrees $(0, j)$, so define $h$
+to be zero there.
+Assume inductively that $h$ has been defined for degrees less than $k$.
+Let $p\ot b$ be a generator of degree $k$.
+Choose $V_1$ as in the definition of $G_*^{i,m}$ so that
+\[
+	N_{i,k+1}(p\ot b) \subeq V_1 \subeq N_{i,k+2}(p\ot b) .
+\]
+There are splittings
+\[
+	p = p'_1\bullet p''_1 , \;\; b = b'_1\bullet b''_1 , 
+			\;\; e(p\ot b) - \tilde{e}(p\ot b) - h(\bd(p\ot b)) = f'_1\bullet f''_1 ,
+\]
+where $p'_1 \in CD_*(V_1)$, $p''_1 \in CD_*(X\setmin V_1)$, 
+$b'_1 \in \bc_*(V_1)$, $b''_1 \in \bc_*(X\setmin V_1)$, 
+$f'_1 \in \bc_*(p(V_1))$, and $f''_1 \in \bc_*(p(X\setmin V_1))$.
+Inductively, $\bd f'_1 = 0$.
+Choose $x'_1 \in \bc_*(p(V_1))$ so that $\bd x'_1 = f'_1$.
+Define 
+\[
+	h(p\ot b) \deq x'_1 \bullet p''_1(b''_1) .
+\]
+This completes the construction of the first-order homotopy when $m \ge 1$.
+
+The $j$-th order homotopy is constructed similarly, with $V_j$ replacing $V_1$ above.
+\end{proof}
+
+Note that on $G_*^{i,m+1} \subeq G_*^{i,m}$, we have defined two maps,
+call them $e_{i,m}$ and $e_{i,m+1}$.
+An easy variation on the above lemma shows that $e_{i,m}$ and $e_{i,m+1}$ are $m$-th
