All bibliographic data are available on a per-document basis, and references will only appear _as cited_. This means there will not be any reference entry at the end of the document for any works _not_ cited. For child documents, citations can be seen only in the master preview. Start LyX, create a new empty document, insert > list > bibliography, select your four bib files, press OK, now type something and press the Bib icon, you should be able to select an entry from all four bib files. Now preview the document. You should see "foo [n]" or "foo (xyz, d)", and just one entry in the references. If you cannot reproduce this, you are looking at a bug, most probably in your installation. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
