Do this:

* Put branches with the respective child documents (Abstract, Preface) before 
the TOC

* At the very beginning of the main document, insert \frontmatter in ERT

* After the TOC, insert \mainmatter in ERT

* In the preamble, remove the \frontmatter decaration in the redefinition of 
\tableofcontents.

See the attached, modified main document of the template.
