if you do not need different captions for figure and table you
can insert both in one float. latex makes no difference between
table and figure floats. this is only important if you need
list of figures or list of tables. you can place them side by side
(with minipages) or one above the other (hit only return).

yes, you're right, but since lyx has this feature you can use
individual placing by using the options h,t,b or p as very
first insert in a float: e.g. in tex [!h]. if you want to
use this option you need an empty entry in layout->document->
float placement.
hope this helps
