Thanks Richard, I feel I'm getting closer to understanding what's going on.
How does one know what classes LyX checks for? If, for example, I have
my own class (myclass), which in turn uses a half dozen other classes,
will LyX just check for my class? Or are there some classes it checks
for and others not?

P.S. I don't suppose these details are documented anywhere are they?

Hello,
I'm writing my first LyX layout and running into trouble. When I use
the following command in the layout file, the document class appears
in the Document Settings drop-down list:
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[letter,graphix]{letter (mine)}
but the letter does not format correctly yet because I need to be
using my own letter class name, myletter.cls, but haven't gotten that
far. When I try the following, LyX no longer displays the class as
available.
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[letter,graphix,calc]{letter (mine)}
What am I doing wrong? Is there an example somewhere of a layout that
requires multiple LaTeX classes?
The classes listed in the optional argument have to be ones LyX checks
for, if I remember right. So don't put "calc", since LyX doesn't check
for it. That's the only purpose of putting these things into optional
arguments.
As for your own class file, just name this layout file
"myletter.layout", and LyX will automatically use myletter.cls.
