Abstract
We analyse the phase diagram of a lattice gas model with both condenseation and order-disorder phase transitions, when the system is confined between two walls. The gas-liquid transition is shifted into the, so called, capillary condensation. The crystallization, both from the gas and from the liquid, is also shifted from the bulk values, but the ordered structure is frustrated or enhanced depending on its commensuration with the walls separation, H. This produces a strong oscillatory dependence of the phase diagram with H.
