Oh of course! It's obvious when you say that. As I say, I just don't have a
mind-map of LyX/LateX yet.
Thanks for all the help.

I suspect that if you want floating=FALSE (and put it into a float
within LyX), then you should avoid caption = "An xtable example" and
caption.placement="top". Setting either of these arguments could
automatically force floating=T. (The help page seems silent on this.)
If I remember, the first .lyx file that I sent you worked exactly as
you want here.
