I can totally understand your wish, but unfortunately it could be quite complicated to do that -- LyX actually doesn't do any importing, but just runs reLyX which makes the actuall conversion (with very mixed results, I have to say, but that's another issue). Well, it may be possible to create ~/newfile1.lyx and to tell LyX, that it is unsaved file, don't it?
