It is exactly as Riki posted. Look for example in acmsiggraph-0-92.layout
Style "Copyright_year"

If all you want to do is define an environment within a layout, here's
how I do it:
Preamble
\newenvironment{storyL}{
\par
\begingroup
\leftskip 0.4in\rightskip 0.4in
\it
\noindent{.\dotfill{}.\par}
%~\vskip -0.3in
}{
%~\vskip -0.05in
\par\noindent{.\dotfill{}.\par}
\endgroup
%~\vskip 0.0in
~\\
}
%%% Other LaTeX stuff necessary for LyX environments
%%% and character styles
EndPreamble
Style Story
LatexType Environment
LatexName storyL
LeftMargin"MM"
RightMargin "MM"
ParSkip 0.7
ParSep0.7
TopSep0.7
BottomSep 0.7
Font
Series Medium
ShapeItalic
Size Normal
EndFont
End
The preceding is directly from the layout file for my book, "Key to
Everyday Excellence." I made a lot of appearance modifications for both
LyX's authoring environment (Story) and the output appearance (StoryL).
It could be much simpler. The main thing is that the LyX environment be
LateXType "Environment" and have a LatexName identical to a LaTeX
environment coded between a Preamble and an EndPreamble.

Re: Module allocating variable in preable
Sorry, but I don't see how this solves the problem. This solution
assumes that the variable allocation is always fixed, so that loading
the module would be equivalent to have a set of variables
automatically allocated by "% some stuff to go in the preamble". This
is not what I was aiming for. The idea is to create some LyX layout
(environment, or similar, like "Author", or "Abstract"). Is it
possible to do it?
