Each chunk depends on the previous, but as you mention below, there is a separate R process for each child .lyx file. I believe this is intended. > I am surprised actually that R is ran > separately. I never thought about that, to be frank. From what I understand, the parent .lyx file needs to get a .tex file from each of its child .lyx files. In order to get a .tex file, the knitr script needs to be run. It might be an interesting feature to basically "in-line" the LyX child documents. I could imagine this being useful in some cases. In my particular case, I actually like the modularity and keeping the child documents independent. Scott
