Hello Davide,
there is no Problem doing so, but there are a couple details to consider:
- use Insert->Include File to include chapters in the global document.
- If possible, keep enclosed files like tex oder pstex in the same
directory as the lyx-document, for there can be problems if relocated.
- The latex-preambles of the included dokuments are not processed,
when you process the global document. For consistency you should
keep the preablems in all documents the same.
- set chapter-counters in the local-chapters too. This is some
ERT, but you do it once in a template. Then you just copy the
template and adjust the values as needed. This way the chapters
by themselves and the global document look the same.
If you need an example file, or some help let me know.
Michael
