*.sty - files depends to latex and the best way to store these files
is in ~./TeX, your private tex-dir or in /usr/local/share/texmf/latex,
your local tex-dir.

this is the list for the documentation of lyx and it has very low
volume. therefore you should always write to
lyx-users@...

with this commands in the layout file the amets.sty is loaded
by default.

all lyx-layout files store in ~/.lyx/layouts and all *sty-files see
above.

the lyx-layout files are only for the wysiwyg and you'll see only
that styles which are described in any of the used layout files
in ~/.lyx/layouts or in /usr/share/lyx/layouts. modify your
amets.layout (you can adopt the standard article.layout) store
it in ~/.lyx/layouts, do a edit->reconfigure from within lyx
and restart, than all should work.
