Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have managed to get the main body lyx file setup properly. Now I am running into a small issue whenever I try to include a chapter as a child document into my main lyx file. I get the following error when I try to do a DVI preview or creating a PDF:
>>\usepackage >> {amsmath} >>The package graphicx has already been loaded with options: >> [] >>There has now been an attempt to load it with options >> [dvips] >>Adding the global options: >> ,dvips >>to your \documentclass declaration may fix this. >>Try typing <return> to proceed. I have set the document type of the child document (my chapters) to the same type as the main lyx file (for which I created the layout file to point to the ufthesis.cls file). Is the child document somehow redefining the graphicx package options? Thanks.

I would just start a blank document with the ufthesis.layout and begin. Cheers /Bob
