Hi Scott,
Among other documents I wrote a bachelor and a master thesis (domain of
Linguistics) using quite a number of child documents using André Miede's
classicthesis-LyX-v4.1
If I recall correctly then it is already included in Lyx /openSuse 12.3
distro, or just download it from Miede's site.
That is not only the most excellent template I came across but also a
great demonstration of how child documents brilliantly work together
with their master document. That example will surely answer all of your
questions.
Based on my experiences I should recommend to have ALL documents related
to your document in the same folder as also demonstrated in Miede's
template.
Cheers,
Michael

From the Embedded Objects manual:
"A child document inherits elements from its master, for example the
LaTeX preamble, the bibliography, and labels for cross-references."
Does that sentence only refer to when compiling from the master
document?
Yes. If you compile the child by itself, it uses its own preamble. Same for
other settings.
OK. Do you agree that the above sentence from Embedded Objects manual is
confusing? I think that one could understand it to mean that the child
always inherits settings from the master, even when it's compiled
on its own.
This is very confusing, for lots of fairly good reasons. I'll try to explain
later.
If you have the time, I would be interested. Or if you can point me to
other threads on the subject I could read those.
Scott
