Hello,
First please keep discussions on list. You never know when answers will
be useful to someone else.
The code you show above creates a class equivalent to the default
article class. Since this class does not contain any notion of keyword,
you don't have any either. The goal of the .layout file is to tell LyX
what features the cls file contains.
In this case, I would propose to add the following snippet (stolen from
jasatex.layout) to your layout file.
Hope this helps.

Style Keywords
Margin Dynamic
LatexType Command
LatexName keywords
Category FrontMatter
InTitle 1
NextNoIndent 1
BottomSep 0.5
ParSkip 0.4
Align Block
AlignPossible Block
LabelSep xx
LabelType Static
LabelString "Keywords:"
LabelFont
Series Bold
EndFont
End
Thank you for the suggestion. This solves the first problem, namely the
"Keywords" is now an item in the layout drop-down menu. However, still both the
abstract and the keywords do not show in the output PDF file. Any further hints
on that?
Also, is there a tutorial on how to write a layout file like what you
suggested? I tried to search but didn't find one. Maybe this is not specific to
Lyx but a general Tex topic - for some cls files a simple article-type of
layout file like what I pasted just works fine. I'm apparently not a Tex
expert, but would like to learn if anyone can point me to a
tutorial/manual/etc.
