You need the class file, but LyX doesn't need to know that. That argument just tells LyX two things: (i) what class to write into the LaTeX file and (ii) what class to check for when it reconfigures. LyX does not check for dependencies, so if, by some chance, you had msuthesis.cls but didn't have book.cls, LyX wouldn't be any the wiser.So you don't need the book class even though the msuthesis class calls it?
