Hmm. Suppose X = [0,1] and Y = [0,1) union {2}. Let f: X -> Y be an
order-preserving bijection, e.g., f(x) = x for x in [0,1), f(1) = 2. I
don't believe that f is continuous with respect to the relative
topologies on X and Y inherited from R. For one thing, X is compact
and connected, while Y is neither. (I guess that was two things.) I
guess you left out some assumptions.
