  There is no special documentation an that is my fault. :(

  No latex required, although some of the commands have latex in its name that 
is an historical hasard. I can read a little about it in "Customizing LyX" 
document manual, in section 6.3 (in version 1.2.1) "Declaring a new 
textclass".

  You can create a new file and include it directly in db_stdclass.in

  The several .inc files are just a modular construct, you can put all in one 
file. The goal is to reuse them to build different classes, like book, set, 
article, chapter, ...
