I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request. Probably the
second one.
In LyX it's ok to define a Math Macro in a Master document and use it in a
child one. It's also ok to use math macros that are defined in a child and
use it in other child document.
In both cases, I am able to view the Master document and it handles
everything perfectly.
But if I do so, I am unable to compile the child document alone.
AFAIK the reason is simple: the child document doesn't have the math macros
defined on its scope. And it doesn't really matter if the default master
document is set or not. It simple doesn't work (at least, I don't know how
to do without insert the math macros "again", which in painful).
My suggestion is to allow the generation of the childs alone.
While working in the document, it's normal to compile only parts of the
document instead of compile the whole set, so this feature would be very
handy.

This works like a charm for me on 1.6.9 right now. My setup is
Thesis.lyx:
Frontmatter stuff
Include: LyX-macros.lyx
Table of Contents
List of Tables
List of Figures
Include: Chapter-1.lyx
Include: Chapter-2.lyx
...
Start Appendix here
Include: Appendix-1.lyx
BibTeX Generated Bibliography
Each child doc has the default master document set to Thesis.lyx and I
use a branch named "child only", which is activated in child docs but
deactivated in the master, to include BibTeX bib in the childs. Math
macros are defined in LyX-macros.lyx and are available when compiling
each child individually without hassle.
So, I do not experience your problem. However document settings and
stuff that gets defined in the preamble need to be set in both master
and child docs.
