    Let \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) be a finite field with \(q^2\) elements and let \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}^{n+l}\) be the \((n+l)\)-dimensional vector space over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\). The singular unitary group \(U_{n+l,n}(\mathbb{F}_{q^2})\) of degree \(n+l\) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) consists of all \((n+l)\times(n+l)\) matrices \(T\) such that \(TI_l\overline T^t=I_l\), where \(I_l=\left(\begin{smallmatrix} I^{(n)}&0\\ 0&0^{(l)}\end{smallmatrix}\right)\). A subspace \(P\) of \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}^{n+l}\) is mapped into the subspace \(PT\) by \(T\in U_{n+l,n}\). The author also considers singular symplectic and singular orthogonal groups. Let \(\mathcal M\) be an orbit of subspaces and \(\mathcal L\) the set of subspaces that are intersections of subspaces of \(\mathcal M\). Ordering \(\mathcal L\) by ordinary or reverse inclusion produces two lattices. The author studies inclusion relations between lattices.
