in this case you should use package nomencl. it does what you want!
have a look at the attached dvi and lyx-file.
the only problem is, that you have to run latex by hand!
1. file->export->latex
2. from shell run twice: latex myFile.tex
2a. makeindex -p -s myFile.tex if you have an index in text
3. makeindex myFile.glo -s myFile.ist -o myFile.gls
4. latex myFile.tex
