How do I separate a book manuscript into different include files?

I should have done it from the very begin, but I didn´t.
After having included many figures it became difficult to handle the fine 
tuning of figure sizes, figure positions, etc since it takes quite some time 
to reload the dvi preview 

What is the best way to do it in the present stage?

Example as it is now:

Title, Table of contents, list of figures, list of tables and Introduction
chapter 1
chapter 2
.
.
.
.
chapter 19

in one file

I want it in file 1 `Introduction´ with 
include file (chapter 1)
include file (chapter 2)
.
.
.
.
include file (chapter 19)

and create files to be included as 
e-introduction.lyx
e-chapter1.lyx
.
.
.
e-chapter19.lyx

how do I create those files from the existing file containing the whole book 

especially:
how do I keep the document class, style etc, 

that is, should I first create  template files with these requirements, and 
paste the different chapter contents into it? Will the book-chapter structure 
be kept?

Is there a better method than cut and paste the chapters? 

I guess the references are taken care of allright.

Before experimenting I thought somebody has experience and could give me a 
quick advice. I would appreciate it.
