Generalised k-statistics associated with multi-indexed arrays of random variables satisfying a generalised form of exchangeability are studied. By showing that they form multi-indexed reversed martingales and that the associated family of σ-fields possesses certain conditional independence properties, conditions for the a.s. convergence of generalised k-statistics are obtained. When the arrays of random variables are sums of independent arrays of independent effects, as is the case with the standard random effects anova models, the limits are identified as the associated generalixed cumulants.
