This is related to the way LaTeX works, and not to LyX.
The .sty files are basically used in an incremental way
from a basic set of command and environments determined at
TeX/LaTeX install. In other words, they work as shared
libraries of macro-commands, otherwise the executable would be
much too big (look at any CTAN archive and you will get
an idea of the available styles...).
IMHO, the algorithm which finds out syles is very efficient,
and you may easily create a local template
in which the required styles become standard in the preamble
for further documents. I never did it, but you may
also hack the standard class itself if you are sole user.
