put the files specific to the areas in directories area1 area2, etc
(or another name). Do a 
  ln -s area1 area

Prepare the report by including all special files as area/file1.eps or
whatever.

The to create the reports you can do a loop like

for a in $areas ; do
  ln -sf $a area
  lyx --export postscript mainfile.lyx
  mv mainfile.ps mainfile-$a.ps
done
