The original aim is to define recursively a function on the power set of a set such that the functional value of a subset is determined by those of its proper subsets.
Thank you.

If the set if finite, yes; every linear extension of the set-inclusion order is a well-ordering.
If the set is infinite, no; there is a strictly decreasing infinite sequence of subsets.
A partial order can be extended to a well-ordering if and only if it is well-founded, meaning that it has no strictly decreasing infinite sequence.
