Hi Robert,
good to see you again.

One way would be to have a master document in the root and then use the
other documents as slaves. So each project would have its lyx file (That
could include other files...).

In lyx that requires to always load the master document.

It is the master/slave relation from above.

Simple export the master to pdf.

Here you need to tweak the latex to html converters as it is not possible
