Summary: We give two new conditions on topological $k$-graphs
equivalent to Yeend's
aperiodicity condition (A). Each of the new conditions concerns finite
paths
rather than infinite. We use a specific example, resulting from a new
construction of a twisted topological $k$-graph, to demonstrate the
improvements achieved by the new conditions. Reducing this proof of
equivalence to the discrete case also gives a new direct proof of the
corresponding conditions in discrete $k$-graphs, where previous proofs
depended on simplicity of the corresponding $C^*$-algebra.
