Sorry, it was an oversight on my part. I first ran pdflatex on the latex
template and thus was not aware of the problem. When a postscript file
is included, pdflatex launches epstopdf to convert it. So it executes
the command "epstopdf ----outfile=Definitions/logo-orcid-eps-converted-to.pdf
Definitions/logo-orcid.eps" and then includes the converted graphics.
However, LyX typesets the document by making a copy of all required
files to a temporary directory, so that the document directory is not
polluted. Of course, LyX can only copy the files it is aware of, i.e.,
the ones that are inserted by using the GUI. The files included by the
class cannot be copied because they are unknown. Anyway, LyX accounts
for that by including the document directory to the TEXINPUTS
environment variable used by TeX. In this way, TeX can find all required
files.
Unfortunately, epstopdf is an external program that does not follow the
same rules as TeX for finding the required files and thus it fails.
The simplest way for dealing with this is not specifying the extension
of the graphics to be included and provide all formats that can be
included by a given TeX backend. For example, if a latex document
contains \includegraphics{foo} and the files foo.eps and foo.pdf are
provided, then the dvi backend will use foo.eps and the pdf backend will
use foo.pdf, without the need of any conversion.
So, what I have done is removing all .eps extensions from mdpi.cls and
providing the necessary .pdf formats. In the attached archive you can
find only the files that I modified or added. Other than the .pdf files
and the modified mdpi.cls file, you can also find a new .layout file
with the correction of a small glitch and new template.lyx where I
simply added instructions on how to obtain the various \citeXXX variants
for citations. I am also attaching a diff showing what has changed.

The class options can be found in
Document → Settings → Document Class → Custom
and can be easily changed there. Essentially, here you have all the
arguments that go in the square brackets of \documentclass.
Sorry for the inconvenience
