I am doing a similar thing, except that I have put the "chapter1.lyx"
files in separate subdirectories ("main.lyx" is in the top-level dir).
It seemed a good idea at the time: it allows me to manage all the
files that go into the figures in a reasonable way.
In the main lyx file, I can use "Input introduction/chapter.lyx", and
it all just works. What doesn't work is the figures which, of course,
are in the subdirs. I'm mostly using eps files for the figures and
using "insert->figure". While editing "introduction/chapter.lyx",
this works fine and I can see the preview &etc.
It doesn't work when I try to generate the PS file from the main lyx
source. Latex complains that it can't find the figure file. I have
resorted to setting TEXINPUTS, which seems sub-optimal since it is a
global setting. Also, after starting the third chapter, changing
TEXINPUTS is getting tedious ...
I'm sure there is some preamble magic to make this work, but I
couldn't figure it out. Any pointer or tip would be appreciated!
Thanks,
