Yes, something like that would be possible to implement, but I suspect this is getting unnecessarily complicated.

What we could have (like in gcc C preprocessor) is a special version of Input (say Input*) that does not search in .lyx. This way you could have your own amsart.layout that can include the real amsart.layout. I think this would solve all your problems in a more elegant way. JMarc
