I think you are going to have to do the following:

 1. Install tda.cls in your LaTeX setup (park it in an appropriate
    location and make sure your LaTeX installation can find it).
 2. Create a LyX layout file for the tda class, and store that in your
    local LyX directory.
 3. Reconfigure LyX so it finds the new layout.

See chapter 5 of the LyX Customization manual for details.
