The LyX-internal stuff isn't so hard. We know the path on which we
search for stuff, so we can just search it again to find the layout and
module files that are needed. As for the LaTeX stuff, I'm less than
certain we want to allow embedding of those. But if we do, can't we call
kpsewhich or something to find them? Or does that command not exist
under all installations?
This feature aims at particular cls file provided by journals and
publishers. For example, the book I am writing uses wiley monograph
latex template, which has .bst, .sty, .cls and .ist files, and a
layout file prepared by myself. It would be a lot of work to
automatically include all these files. For example, w-bookps.sty is
used in the preamble, and we will have to scan the user-specified
preamble to automatically include this file.
Right, the style files are a problem. But at least the LyX stuff isn't.
