I recommend the enumitem package (if you are using LyX 1.6, you can use
the attached enumitem module.
No need to explicitely \interrupt an enumeration. It just takes of the
last one *of the corresponding level* with the [resume] optional argument
(or with the Enumerate-Resume Style provided by the module).

================
#\DeclareLyXModule[enumitem.sty]{Customisable Lists (enumitem)}
#DescriptionBegin
# Control the layout of enumerate, itemize and description
# with an optional argument.
# See http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf
#DescriptionEnd
# Author: Günter Milde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Format 11
# The package enumitem provides user control over the layout of the three
# basic list environments: enumerate, itemize and description. It supersedes
# both enumerate and mdwlist (providing well-structured replacements for all
# their funtionality), and in addition provides functions to compute the
# layout of labels, and to ‘clone’ the standard environments, to create new
# environments with counters of their own.
#
# - fancy labels and fancy refs,
# - leftmargin, labelsep and labelwidth automatically set,
# - changes applied globally or only in one of the three
# types or even in a single list (including topsep) by
# means of a sort of "inheritance",
# - several description styles (which fix some bad
# spacing, too),
# - starting value and counter resuming,
# - trivlists properly formatted,
# - control on page breaking
#
# Styling the basic lists is possible
#
# a) generally in the LaTeX preamble and
# b) per environment with optional arguments
#
# See enumitem.pdf_ for details and examples.
