Do you really need floats or just the captions? If the latter, you
should use the nonfloat package which provides the \figcaption command:
Preamble:
\usepackage{nonfloat}
In the box:
Image (not in a float)
\figcaption{The image's caption}
If you want to have the images floating, you need to define a specific
float type similar to the boxedfloat type here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules
You might also want to have a look at the tcolorbox package, which
provides possibilities to produce all sorts of highly complex boxes
(that also allow for floats and captions):
http://mirror.easyname.at/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox/tcolorbox
.pdf
This package is partially supported by LyX via the "Fancy Colored
Boxes" module (see Help > Specific Manuals > Colored Boxes).
