same in a child output as in the master output, and moreover no
"undefined" errors will show up.
Any comment if that makes sense?
This isn't at all clear. It may well be that we should think through
this 'master-child' business in some general way. As things currently
are, there's nothing intrinsically `child-like' about a child document.
It could be a completely free-standing document sometimes, and then
other times be included in some other document. So you may just load it
into LyX by itself, and then the fact that it is (in another
incarnation, as it were) the child of some other document is completely
unknown. But, other times, you might load it as a child of some other
document, and then the question will be how, then, should it be
rendered? As a child, or as it would be had it been loaded as a
free-standing document? This is not obvious, and I can see arguments on
both sides.
