      The paper continues the investigations started in a previous one [Topology Appl. 14, 201-225 (1982; Zbl 0506.54027)] being concerned with the invariants of Helly (\(h)\), Carathéodory (\(c)\) and Radon (\(r)\) in relation with the dimension (n) of a topological convex structure. The relations obtained \((h\leq n+1,\quad n\leq c\leq n+1)\) lead to an equivalence between Helly's and Carathéodory's theorem and to the closedness of the hull of compact sets in finite dimensional convexities. Also, the inequality \(r_ n\leq r\) (where \(r_ n\) is the Radon number of the n-cube) is deduced and a natural condition is presented under which \(h=c=r=n+1.\)
