If some game designer went on record as saying that was his or her intention that would be one thing, but speculation is not the same as proof.

Other people have already addressed this point.

If, as you seem to be suggesting, that Ultimecia is a future incarnation of Rinoa, then she could hardly be the ancestor of Zell since Rinoa and Zell were born in the same month and year. And while it may be possible that one or both of them were conceived during time compression, it seems very unlikely. And certainly there is nothing in the game to suggest that anything like that happened.
