Nested input will work if LyX doesn't use temporary directories
(put "\use_tempdir false" in the lyxrc file).
If LyX uses temporary directories, it creates all doc*.tex files,
but it puts doc1.tex & doc2.tex in one directory
(e.g. /tmp/lyx_tmp11555aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11555aaa), and the doc3.tex in another
directory (e.g. /tmp/lyx_tmp11555aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11555aab).
This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
