Not necessarily. They are the same family but not the same species. There are only a few basic, distinct levels of each lucidity and control (but then there's a whole gray scale in between). They can manifest themselves exclusively or mutually. You could also voluntarily opt out of the control aspects and play passive stander-by yet still maintain the highest lucidity so, "control" is really a "control potential", or "control faculty". Lucidity is situational awareness - control is the power to act upon one's will. They are two different qualities.

...On the other hand, if you have a lot of control, but the dream seems fake, fuzzy, and doesn't last long, then your dream would fall somewhere between mid-level to high-level lucidity according to PenguinLord13's scale.
Which is essentially the same ranking you'd score on the single scale, in the style of PenguinLord13's proposal. If you had two scales from one to five and scored 5 on the control but 0 on the lucidity then you'd still end up with a "5": midway on the 1-10 scale.
The more I think about it, perhaps a scale from 1 to 5 that takes into account both lucidity and control (exercised or not) would fit the need? 5 clearly-defined - albeit somewhat overlapping - "levels of lucidity". Ah, the thought of a 5-star LD
