Another way to do it is to 'compile' the main document first, eg by doing
view dvi.
This effectively lets all Includes see all the other stuff such as biblios
or sections in other includes for cross referencing.

Do you know View->Navigate?
I do, works great for medium documents, but from some point its still not
enough. I tried using a combination of bookmarks and View->Navigate, but I
need
to move around a bit and I still keep losing my position.
Also, when splitting the files, using the preview is much faster and
allows to
concentrate on a chapter at a time.

Always open the child documents from the main document via the include
button. This assumes that the bibtex database is included in the main
document (you can trigger loading all included documents if you e.g. try
to
insert a citation in the main document).
Tried that, but at least with lyx 1.3.4 (the version currently in debian)
this
doesn't work. References can be chosen from other open documents but the
bibtex
entry in the master document isn't recognized.
The suggestion I got in the other email to put the bibtex entry into a
comment
paragraph works great though.
