lyx searchs first in the home ~/.lyx/layout for layout files.
at second in /usr/share/lyx/layouts or any other, if you
installed it with another dir.
put the attached article.layout in there and than copy it
cp article.layout myArticle.layout

edit in myArticle.layout the first two lines to the
following

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (myArticle)}


this means that your (special) article class dependes
to the latex article class.

now run reconfigure and in lyx should all work well,
you are able to modify the internal structure of myArticle
