§ 1. Introduction. Reverse mathematics as developed by H. Friedman, S. Simpson and others (see [16] for a comprehensive treatment) focuses on the language of second order arithmetic “because that language is the weakest one that is rich enough to express and develop the bulk of core mathematics”([16], p. viii).However, as we have argued in [13], already the treatment of continuous functions f: X-> Y between Polish spaces X, Y not only requires a quite complicated encoding. Even more importantly, the restricted language makes it necessary (already for X= Nn, Y= N) to use a constructively slightly enriched definition of continuous functions whose equivalence with the usual definition cannot be proved eg in the finite type extension E-PAW+ QF-AC1, 0 of (a variant with function variables instead of set variables of) the second or der system RCA (ie RCAo plus full induction, where RCAo is the well-known base system used in reverse mathematics, see [16]). Here QF-AC1, 0 denotes
