Thanks. I see this as a important obstacle to wider acceptance of LyX. Since it seems to be mainly these standard environments, maybe it should not be so hard to fix. For instance could the exporter generate some comments that the importer uses to get things right? For instance every \begin{prop} could be followed by a comment that would be used by the LyX importer. I realize that it is a much bigger problem to translate a completely foreign tex file.Hal
Absolutely. I think we can reimport the propositions without using comments (you can't rely on them) because we have information about propositions in the .layout files. There is some work being put in the tex2lyx conversion tool; support keeps on improving. I haven't tested your particular problem with the development version so I don't know if it will work there, but complete LyX->TeX->LyX cycle is on the roadmap.
