The caption should have as less options as possible as the caption format has to be set globally to assure an uniform output, see my argumentation http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4647#c3
As we discussed in the bug report the option of making a caption a continued one is useful, but captionbelow is not.
We could add a caption settings part in the document settings, but with this we have to require the caption package - wich could be a nightmare. I have often been incontact with the caption developer due to package conflicts and bugs. Some users might therefore better use the commands provided by the document classes like in koma-script or memoir. I don't know what is the best solution here - caption works in all cases, but memoir and koma-script's own commands are less error prone.
But in general, when you work at this, please assure that the captions are set in the LaTeX-output in its own paragraph.
