from meman.tex:
\item[\Lopt{article}] typesetting simulates the \Lclass{article} class,
but the \cmd{\chapter} command is not disabled.
Chapters\index{chapter} do not start a new page and chapter headings\index{heading!chapter} are typeset
like a section heading\index{heading!sections}. The numbering of figures\index{figure}, etc., is continuous
and not per chapter. However, a \cmd{\part} command still puts
its heading\index{heading!part} on a page by itself.
So I understand that it is intended to have chapters even with the article
sure, I never said, that there are no chapters. I meant, that it is not a good way to have different counting of section titles in LyX gui and output.
