Just to add to what CWoo has already said, in a "finite geometry" one defines a set of "points" (whatever those may be) and a set of lines (defined as a set of pairs of points between which we claim the existence of one or more lines). I guess one could add some sort of boring topology, but I don't think a topology has much meaning in a set with only finitely many points. Besides, it is not the topology that one wants to study but rather the possible geometric properties of these finite settings. Some of these finite models can serve as small scale models of more complicated geometric objects.
