Putting "LatexType Environment" in the LyX definition causes the next paragraph to be of the same environment as the current one. This doesn't give me the feature of the next paragraph after a DiaryHeader being a DiaryParagraph, but at least consecutive DiaryParagraphs are automatically the same style.
