Intersection is Commutative/Family of Sets

Theorem
Let $\family {S_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ be an indexed family of sets.

Let $\displaystyle I = \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i$ denote the intersection of $\family {S_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$.

Let $J \subseteq I$ be a subset of $I$.

Then:
 * $\displaystyle \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i = \bigcap_{j \mathop \in J} S_j \cap \bigcap_{k \mathop \in \relcomp I J} S_k = \bigcap_{k \mathop \in \relcomp I J} S_k \cap \bigcap_{j \mathop \in J} S_j$

where $\relcomp I J$ denotes the complement of $J$ relative to $I$.
