1.) create a file "myfloats.inc" with the following content:

Format 4

Float
        Type                  scheme
        GuiName               Scheme
        Placement             tbp
        Extension             los
        NumberWithin          none
        Style                 plain
        ListName              "List of Schemes"
        LaTeXBuiltin          false
End


2.) Save it in you LyX user directory (see About->LyX for where this is).

3.) Copy the layout file of the class you're using to the user directory as 
well, and put in the following line at the end

Input myfloats.inc
