Question: blah blah
Answer: some stuff

To my beamer presentation.  I decided to try block example.  I found that I
couldn't insert a 2nd block example right after the first, lyx kept trying
to merge them.

Finally I threw in a 'seperator', and that seems to have fixed it.  Is this
the 'correct' approach?

Yes.  A good way to do this is to put a standard environment between the 
two blocks and put an empty ERT inset in the standard environment.  That 
does the job without causing any spurious vertical space to be used.


Incidentally, this is not specific to beamer; it's necessary in LyX 
pretty much whenever you want to have two consecutive but distinct 
instances of the same environment (e.g., back-to-back Theorems).
