Hello, Lyx offers currently two ways to insert layouts: in the "site" location (/usr/share/lyx/layouts) ore in the users' home dir (~/.lyx/layouts).
It would be nice to allow downstream exploration of the site location, to allow e.g. for "local" layouts not to be mixed with release layouts. Currently layouts in subdirs are not found. Structuring the templates and examples dirs is easier as they are explored dynamically by the user. Nevertheless, lyx releases could offer some kind of LDS, or LyX Data Structure, to clarify things: the coming improvements will be such that the number of sharable files will increase as it did with (La)TeX...
