I suspect this is simply reflects a misunderstanding relating to the
naming of our "Insert > File > Child Document..." menu item. For
example, when answering this question I had to repeatedly look closely
in the Insert menu since I was looking for "Insert > File > TeX
Document...", and there is obviously none such item. Then I looked
several times at External Material, but to my bemusement there was no
TeX entry there. So by trial and error I realized that Child Document
was the winner.
Perhaps we should consider renaming it to something like: "Child
Document (TeX or LyX)"?
