A little more on "Lesser Included Offenses." The following is language from a Florida Supreme Court opinion,
Williams v. Florida May 2007, SC06-594.

"The Court recently explained the distinction between necessary and permissive lesser included offenses:
Lesser included offenses fall into two categories: necessary and permissive. Necessarily lesser included offenses are those offenses in which the statutory elements of the lesser included offense are always subsumed within those of the charged offense. State v. Paul, 934 So. 2d 1167, 1176 (Fla. 2006). A permissive lesser included offense exists when "the two offenses appear to be separate [on the face of the statutes], but the facts alleged in the accusatory pleadings are such that the lesser [included] offense cannot help but be perpetrated once the greater offense has been." State v. Weller, 590 So. 2d 923, 925 n.2 (Fla. 1991).
Sanders v. State, 944 So. 2d 203, 206 (Fla. 2006) (alteration in original)."
"An instruction on a permissive lesser included offense is appropriate only if the allegations of the greater offense contain all the elements of the lesser offense
and the evidence at trial would support a verdict on the lesser offense. See Welsh, 850 So. 2d at 470. If an offense meets the criteria for an instruction and verdict choice as either a necessarily or permissive lesser included offense, the State may insist on its inclusion, even over defense objection. See Johnson v. State, 601 So. 2d 219, 220 (Fla. 1992) (holding that State has right to instruction on permissive lesser included offense over defense objection); Gallo v. State, 491 So. 2d 541, 543 (Fla. 1986) (holding that if State declines to consent to defense waiver of instruction on necessarily lesser included offense, waiver is ineffectual and instruction must be given), receded from on other grounds by Gould v. State, 577 So. 2d 1302, 1305 (Fla. 1991)." (Ibid.)
Basically, what this says is Florida does use LIOs, the statute doesn't necessarily contain all of the LIOs of a particular charge, the test is whether the elements for the LIO are also within the list of elements for the greater charge and the defense can't waive the prosecution's right to have the jury instructed on an LIO.
