There is a definition that has always left nagging questions in my mind. To set it up, let $(\Omega, \cal{A}, (\cal{F}\_t)\_{t\geq 0}, P)$ be a filtered probability space. From Comets & Meyre's *Calcul stochastique et modèles de diffusions*,


**Definition 3.2.** A real-valued function $\phi$ on $\mathbb{R}^+\times \Omega$ is *progressively measurable* if, for all $t\in \mathbb{R}^+$, the mapping $(s,\omega) \mapsto \phi(s, \omega)$ on $[0, t]\times \Omega$ is $\cal{B}[0,t] \otimes \cal{F}\_t$-measurable.


Clear enough. The authors go on to define $M^2(\mathbb{R}^+)$ to define the set (space) of all progressively measurable stochastic processes $\phi$ such that


$\mathbf{E}\int\_{\mathbb{R}^+} \phi^2(t, \omega) dt < \infty$.


(This formula is verbatim from the book.) 


My question is: does one simply interpret the expression on the left as a double integral à la the Fubini-Tonelli theorem, $\int\_\Omega\int\_{R^+} \ldots dt dP$, and if so, does progressive measurability ensure that $\phi$ is $\cal{B}(\mathbb{R}^+)\otimes \cal{A}$ measurable, so that this interpretation makes sense?


My attempts to realize $\phi$ as the limit of a sequence of measurable functions (like $\phi|\_{[0, n]\times\Omega}$) have yielded nothing to convince me yet. 



What does progressively measurable actually entail?
The formula 


$$\mathbb{E} \int\_{R+} \phi^{2}(t,\omega)dt$$


is a double integral a la Fubini-Tonelli. And if you did back there is probably a condition on the filtration saying that $\mathcal{F}\_t \subset \mathcal{A}$ for all $t \ge 0$. So that progressive measurability does imply that $\phi^{2}(t,\omega)$ is $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{+}) \otimes \mathcal{A}$ measurable. But making this integrand measurable isn't the main purpose of the progressive measurability condition. The main point is so that something like $f(t,X\_t)$ where $X\_t$ is an adapted process is again an adapted process. The integrability condition is to give $\mathcal{M}^{2}$ a Hilbert space structure.
