thanks for your reply.
I have tried what you recommend before posting and i got a lot of errors in Lyx. I have checked the tetex hierrarchy, texhash-ed after the installation of the .cls file, rechecked the lexmf.cnf, chkconfig.ltx files.
I guess I am still missing something, maybe Lyx on MacOsX has difficulties that I cant figure out.
i appreciate your help Hassoun

I am using Lyx 1.3.3 on MacOsX and very satisfied with it. I am trying to create a .layout file for a .cls one.
Though having read the Customization file in the Help menu (and most of the mailings related to layout, cls, customization, and some web sites), I still could not find the solution. From what I understood, a .layout file is an interface for Lyx to talk to Latex.
So I copied most of the .cls content into the Preamble|EndPreamble (in the .layout file).
That's not necessary. The second line in the .layout takes care of that:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass[scrartcl]{rel}
The .layout is only necessary to adjust appearances of paragraph layouts within LyX.
I guess there should be another elegant way to do so. What are the minimum requirements for a layout to talk to latex? any examples?
Just use article.layout.
