This depends on the context.

* When the adjacent identical environments are the exception of the common
  use, e.g. two itemize lists with nothing inbetween: --Separator-- is OK.
  
* For environments that are intended as "container" for other paragraphs
  (like minipage or a slide in seminar, prosper or beamer), the comments in
  http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/2697 are still valid:
  
  This use case is IMO better served with a new LatexType to give to a
  Style definition in a layout file.

  IMO, boxes are the way to represent this type of "container
  environment" in lyx.
  

LyX 1.6.0 provides a solution to this problem with the new flex-inset.
However, conversion of existing documents to the new layout depends
on a new Obsolete keyword as described in #5515.
