** Assume that component $C'$ was visited first. Similarly, depth first search comes at some vertex $v$ of component $C'$ at some moment, but all other vertices of components $C$ and $C'$ were not visited yet. But by condition there is an edge $(C, C')$ in the condensation graph, so, because of acyclic propery of condensation graph, there is no back path from $C'$ to $C$, i.e. depth first search from vertex $v$ will not reach vertices of $C$. It means that vertices of $C$ will be visited by depth first search later, so $tout[C] > tout[C']$. This completes the proof.
