Yes.

This is indeed annoying but

1/ there are nesting bars that show this fact

2/ the real problem is this endframe business that is a kludge to use
beamer with LyX. The real solution would probably be to use an InsetFlex
instead.

They stay as they are.

o first item is very interesting.
  
  however, it is a bit difficult to explain so I need a separate
  paragraph. Actually, it is so difficult that I'd better use itemize
  there too

  - first explanation

  - second explanation

o second item is not very interesting and it is almost embarrassing that
  it was even mentionned. I'll stop there.

When you are at the end of an environment, you do M-Return and it 

1/ decrease envirnment depth

2/ set the layout to the right value automatically.

Isn't that enough?

Actually I had a plan to have a plain Return do that when the
paragraph is empty (so that one does just press Return tzice), but I
never took the time to do it.
