This is exactly what it is supposed to do. And ist does so with the attached
example. Writing the main file to stdout and the other files directly to
disk is maybe a bit inconsistent, but it works.
The fact that included files are also converted is not documented yet at
all. Keep in mind that tex2lyx is not released yet.

What is inconsistent? Feel free to update the wiki information.

This should work. This functionality has been implemented for a long time.

No. If you copy it somewhere else you need to copy the layout files, lyx2lyx
etc, too. I would never copy it into the 1.3 directory, since the new
layout files are not compatible to tyhe old ones.

How do you include the files? tex2lyx recognizes \input, \include and
\verbatiminput. Of course it needs to find the included file, so it either
needs to be an absolute path or a relative path from the current directory.
Of course the latter is a bug: relative paths should be interpreted
relative to the master file as TeX does it. Note also that tex2lyx does
know nothing about TeX magic (TEXINPUTS etc).
