Aye aye, but this becomes tweaky when LyX declares a "nude" package
(without any option) and you declare, after that, the same package
but this time with options.
Ex: \usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
This causes Latex compiler hauling that graphicx was already loaded
(this is ok), but without the same options (this bugs). Most packages
give commands to declare options after the package is loaded
(something like \graphicx{dvips}, etc. geometry package is good at
that :) but sometimes you may find no answer.

The way to handle this, I'd think, is to use some kind of conditional.
LyX adds its material BEFORE your custom preamble stuff gets included.
So you basically just need to check for the existence of something you
know LyX will have done. LyX pretty much always to use
inputenc.sty, so
perhaps checking for \inputencoding via
\ifx\inputencoding\undefined
would work.
It might be worth filing an enhancement request, asking that LyX
should
define \iflyx or something.

I use LyX as a structured content editor. I mean, I need people write
the documentation of software manuals in a structured language
and, as
they fear xml, I proposed LyX. So I wrote a .sty that contains
everything we need to generate manuals and documentation. This
includes commands Latex like:
...
\RequirePackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}
\RequirePackage{lmodern}
\RequirePackage[frenchb,english]{babel}
\ifpdf
\RequirePackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\RequirePackage[cmyk,fixpdftex,pdftex]{xcolor}
\else
\RequirePackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\RequirePackage[cmyk,dvips]{xcolor}
\fi
...
The problem now is that LyX automatically adds things like:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{babel}
so, as you might expect, this leads to crashes at compilation.
How to get rid of all those things LyX adds?
PS: Please note that I find this feature (automatically adding common
packages) very great. I know I use LyX a strange way and I shouldn't
include everything in a .sty file, but you know, people I work with
are far more strange than this ;)
