Let Y be a sublattice of a vector lattice X. We consider the problem of identifying the smallest order closed sublattice of X containing Y. It is known that the analogy with topological closure fails. Let Yo be the order closure of Y consisting of all order limits of nets of elements from Y. Then Yo need not be order closed. We show that in many cases the smallest order closed sublattice containing Y is in fact the second order closure Yoo. Moreover, if X is a σ-order complete Banach lattice, then the condition that Yo is order closed for every sublattice Y characterizes order continuity of the norm of X. The present paper provides a general approach to a fundamental result in financial economics concerning the spanning power of options written on a financial asset.
