1. The probabilistic content of the theory of Martin boundaries originatedby Doob and Hunt reduces to thefact that trajectories of a Markov process" start" at points of the entrance-boundary and" end" at exit-boundary points. The first part of thisassertion is explicitly formul-ated in much more complicated terms than the second. This can be done either in the framework of the Hunt theory of almost-P chains (generated at a random time, see [1]), or with the help of random time changes (see [2]), or, finally, by the construction of an auxiliary time inhomo-geneous Markov process (see [3]). In this article another interpretation is given for the idea of" starting points" of Markov trajectories which is suitable for the study of general boundary conditions.Let xt be a Markov process in the space E and let D c E. The set of times for which xt D decomposes into connected components which are intervals (or points). Theintervals not reducing to points we call incursions. In this note we prove that for the beginning times of all incursions there exist limits xr+ 0 in the entrance-boundary topology (for the processxt which terminates at the first exit from D).
