To me it's not 100% clear what you expect... you don't want to modify the files concurrently, I hope. With your use case I would ask for a buffer (file) reload menu item. But indeed currently LyX doesn't check for changes of the file on disk behind it's back on file open. This one I'd rate as a bug. Please, enter this into LyX's bug tracker at http://www.lyx.org/trac.
