Abstract
The relation of an acceleration dependence of higher order gravitational potential to coordinate conditions is clarified in the Fokker Lagrangian formalism up to the post-post-Newtonian order of approximation. The acceleration-independent Lagrangian is determined in the special class of coordinate conditions.Keywords
