The .sty file is your style file. It is used for formatting. The
sample_thesis.tex file is a raw latex file (presumably so you can test the
style to make sure you get the required output). You do not ever want to
include these. They are not for that. What you want to do is import the sty
file and make it into a document class. Then you want to edit the file in
lyx. The PDF that you generate should be the same format as the sample.
I don't think that this is a trivial amount of work to get working but it
isn't too much. What you want to search for in google is "lyx sty" and it
comes up with a mess of useful links.
