Re: Strange behaviour on user command defined in preamble.
Why don't you try this: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/acronym/acronym.pdf (Though I never worked with it, I think that InsertNomenclature entry... could do the same within LyX)

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{}}
{Then1}
{Else1}
\ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{}}
{Then2}
{Else2}

And in plain latex I would use:
...a vector defined in
\simbolo{$R^{n}$}{Euclidian Space of dimension n} is ...
wich works as expected.
But in lyx, I had found out that if I insert a ert (wrote ert in and the
text in $$ is inserted with lyx math mode):
Don't nest an ERT-inset in a math-inset. Instead, type in a math-box
\simbolo{
and you will get the LaTeX $\simbolo{ } with the cursor between the braces
(open ViewLaTeX Source to see the effect).
Now insert the first argument and type
\{
to get an unescaped pair of braces for the second argument.
This is described in the mathematics manual (HelpMaths).
Do you have any suggestions?
Consider creating a math-macro instead of a preamble definition. (Again, see
the mathematics manual for guidance.

Re: Strange behaviour on user command defined in preamble.
Do you have any suggestions? Minimal example .lyx file please.
Re: Strange behaviour on user command defined in preamble.
The attached example works for me, an produces - Else1 Else2 is - simbolo-minimal.lyx Description: application/lyx
Re: Strange behaviour on user command defined in preamble.
This test case worked here too. Just my file behave strange, if I wrote some parts I got no errors, but if I copy the section that gave-me errors in your example it works fine. I found out that for some reason the lyx code had an line \lang brasilian just after the section that does not work, I just open the lyx file in a text editor and deleted that line. Everything works fine now.
Re: Strange behaviour on user command defined in preamble.
I tried to replicate this error by setting a different language on different sections (something I do frequently in citations and for some expressions), but I cant reproduce the error anymore. Maybe if I mess up the text a little. Thanks for the help.

Re: Strange behaviour on user command defined in preamble.
Just for information, the actual command definition is presented below.
I plan to use at the very first time a symbol is declared so it will get
written
to the list of symbols with the corresponding description.
\newcommand{\simbolo}[2]
{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{}}
{\addcontentsline{los}{simbolo}{#1}#1}
{\addcontentsline{los}{simbolo}{#1: #2}#1}
}
