We introduce a technique that is helpful in evaluating the reflexivity index of several classes of topological spaces and lattices. The main results are related to products: we give a sufficient condition for the product of a topological space and a nest of balls to have low reflexivity index and determine the reflexivity index of all compact connected 2-manifolds.

We determine the reflexivity index of some closed set lattices by constructing maps relative to irrational rotations. For example, various nests of closed balls and some topological spaces, such as even-dimensional spheres and a wedge of two circles, have reflexivity index 2. We also show that a connected double of spheres has reflexivity index at most 2.

A function $f:X\rightarrow X$ determines a topology $P(f)$ on $X$ by taking the closed sets to be those sets $A\subseteq X$ with $f(A)\subseteq A$. The topological space $(X,P(f))$ is called a functionally Alexandroff space. We completely characterise the homogeneous functionally Alexandroff spaces.

A lattice is said to be essentially metrizable if it is an essential extension of a countable lattice. The main result of this paper is that for a completely distributive lattice the following conditions are equivalent: (1) the interval topology on L is metrizable, (2) L is essentially metrizable, (3) L has a doubly ordergenerating sublattice, (4) L is an essential extension of a countable chain.
