I was playing with those three files you sent me during a long time,
believe me...
They worked as expected, I mean.. the master document behaves rightly
with that code, it looks like at the preview dvi is just what we wanted,
indeed.
So, I stated to _compare_ de "Document settings" from yours (the test)
and mine (the real work) point by point, I didn't see any relevant
difference (both book-style,etc.) but I was getting the same result; I
even got to change everything in yours settings (latexdefault->utf8,
Italian->Spanish, default page margins -> mines, etc...) and nothing.
Then I caught it. My God! The chapter string of your two child documents
were written in lower case letters, that was all!!!! A little detail
that was there always present and I was unable to notice until several
hours after. My right headers show upper case letters because I
intentionally write the string of each chapter name in
upper-case-letters..., yeeeeaaah. ;-)
Well, I don't know whether it could be true that with LaTeX no
everything can be possible, those two things particularly here, but if I
have to choose, I PREFER _chapter names in upper case letters, at the
beginning of each (child) document despite the right header have to come
with upper case letters too_, THAN chapter names in lower case letters,
which dislikes me*, just in order to get lower case letters in the
headers.
* Into these kind of materials I'm working right now (much long
chapters).

That was absolutely great! I caught it at first try because your example
files, if not I were put them just before the string of the chapter (as
really did firstly), where they don't work. It must be placed at a
previous line (with the "normal" style chosen), as you showed me. :-)

Thank you very much, Filippo.
With this one, I've got satisfied more or less the questions that arose
to me past days/weeks. Thanks again, to you and others here in the list
for your time, I know too how much difficult becomes sometimes to find a
little of time for such a things to all us, and how many important time
is into our lives.
By the way, maybe the following could be interesting for developers in
the list (most of you, I suspect...) ;-). When I was playing with those
three files I realized of some kind of "bug" (maybe?) that, fortunately,
this time I could face up without having to ask for help to the list.
Maybe is just a well-known issue (not a bug), I don't know...
a. To launch a new instance of LyX (my intention is to build a master
document).
b. File > New document. Right.
c. Then, Insert > File > Child document, proceeding. Repeating the same
operation for another one, etc.
d. Document > Settings, paste your LaTeX code in the preamble, etc.
e. Save, giving a name, placing over there, etc.
f. dvi update (or just dvi preview (xdvi here)) ---> Pops up a warning:
"Un archivo de salida vacío fue generado" e.g., more or less..
"An empty output file was generated",
and you cannot see anything about its look with xdvi.
BUT, if you proceed by changing the sequence of some of those steps,
that just won't occur, that is, you will not get into that warning at
all. The sequence that must be correct (you all should know this, since
you are able to create master documents, :-))), but...) is this:
a. > b. > e. (!) > c. > d. > f.
