Jul 29, 2013 at 1:43 comment added Pietro Majer (sorry, "exchange" is not the right word. What I mean is: in the former case we have $V < f(V)$ and $W > f(W)$ in the order of $S_r$)

Jul 28, 2013 at 22:11 comment added Pietro Majer Either it does or not: if it does not, then it exchanges two points, and in this case you do not need $f(S_r)\subset S_r$ to conclude.
Jul 28, 2013 at 21:17 comment added Pietro Majer To prove the last statement, we may consider another alternative: either $S_r$ is mapped into itself, so $f_{|S_r}$ has a fixed point there, or not, in which case some point $W\in S_r$ is mapped to $V$ by connection (this because $A\setminus\{V\}$ is disconnected): but then $f$ exchanges $V$ and $W$ and has a fixed point in between.
