Hello!

Is there some way to specify layouts, that depend on the preamble of
another?

Consider e.g. the following LyX file:

#LyX 2.3 created this file.
\lyxformat 544
\begin_document
\begin_header
\begin_local_layout
InsetLayout Flex:AAA
LyxType custom
  LabelString AAA
LatexName AAA
LatexType command
Preamble
\newcommand\AAA[1]{hello #1 world}
EndPreamble
End

InsetLayout Flex:BBB
LyxType custom
LabelString BBB
LatexName BBB
LatexType command
DependsOn Flex:AAA
Preamble
\newcommand\BBB[1]{bye(\AAA{#1})}
EndPreamble
End

\end_local_layout
\end_header
\begin_body
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex BBB
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Hello.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\end_body
\end_document


The dependency of BBB on AAA is explicitly declared, but using \BBB in the
body adds only the preamble of \BBB, but not the preamble of \AAA, causing
an "undefined control sequence" error on compilation.

As I understand, DependsOn merely declares that the preamble of AAA should
be added *before* the preamble of BBB, but only _if_ AAA is used itself.

I couldn't find any feature that allows to declare an actual dependency,
rather than just the ordering. Am I missing something?
