In studying compact convex sets it is usually assumed that the compact convex set X is contained in a Hausdorff topological vector space L where the topology on X is the relative topology. Usually one assumes that L is locally convex. The reason for this is that most of the major theorems such as the Krein-Milman, Choquet-Bishop-de Leeuw, and most of the fixed point theorems require that there be enough continuous affine functions on X to separate points.
