With LyX, I use Hirschorn's exam class:  http://www-math.mit.edu/~psh/#ExamCls

I found a layout file that requires a lot of ERT, but does successfully utilize
all of the features of this class. I will attach it at the end, but should note
that the credit does NOT belong to me.

I prefer the Examdesign class and use it as regular TeX. I have not figured out
how to set up a layout file in LyX which uses the nesting.

I hope you find something here that you can use. The limitation I see with LyX
is the ability to nest in a layout file.
