Is it possible for two LyX Styles (defined in .layout file)
to share a counter?  I have a special "section" style that
adds a few things in the latex .cls file, and its counter
cooperates fully with the normal section type in the dvi.
But it'd be much nicer to see the real section numbers on
the LyX screen too, and so far, I haven't been able to convince
LyX to do it for me.  Adding a "Counter... End" section to
the Style definition in the .layout file didn't seem to help,
at least with all the various Names and Withins I tried.

The normal section counters display and increment as though
the "mysections" aren't there at all.  The "mysection" headers
display the LyX LabelString, but no counter.

What I've got in the .layout file is:

Style Section
  Margin        Dynamic
  LatexType     Command
  LatexName     section
  ...
  LabelType     Counter_Section
  LabelString   "Chapter"
  ...
End
Style MySection
  CopyStyle     Section
  LatexName     mysection
End

Using LyX 1.3.2, Qt, on SuSE Linux 7.3.

TIA,

Jim
