If you put the float on a line of its own, then you have created a
paragraph break and
so there will be a gap in the text. You won't notice that gap _if_ the
float happen to
go exactly there anyway. Doing this is common because LyX looks neater
that way. It is usually not a problem, because normal text have short
paragraphs
anyway. If you don't have that, be aware that you _may_ put a float in
the middle
of some sentence - and the sentence should then come out without any
unusual breaks.
this along with figures appearing in the wrong order, and appearing in
the middle of my chapter conclusion...
Figures should appear in the same order as in your LyX file. Tables should
appear in the same order too. But I believe latex is allowed to move a
figure past a
table if that yields a better layout overall.
If that is unacceptable, consider using only one type of float - i.e.
put tables
in figure floats too. Well, not if you really need separate list of
figures and list of tables.
