We show how some results of the theory of iterated function systems can be derived from the Tarski–Kantorovitch fixed–point principle for maps on partialy ordered sets. In particular, this principle yields, without using the Hausdorff metric, the Hutchinson–Barnsley theorem with the only restriction that a metric space considered has the Heine–Borel property. As a by–product, we also obtain some new characterisations of continuity of maps on countably compact and sequential spaces.
