I do this on every document I write. I make a new .layout file, for the book,
in the directory containing the book. The new layout style starts something
like this:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{tsjfbook}
Then I add/redefine any environments I desire.
The final step is making the file a symlink so it automatically works with
LyX:
ln -s /data/books/tsjf/tsjfbook.layout /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/tsjfbook.layout
Then within LyX I Tools->reconfigure, and the new styles are visible.
