Steve, I am quite low-brow in latex. What I did was following the hints 
given in the list and try it out. I have put it together in the text 
file in the annex of this mail.
It works as an appendix behind a chapter, but not behind a section.

Nomenclature package:

https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/TOC
How do I add the nomenclature to the toc in LyX?
    As noted above if you use a KOMA-Script class you can use the document option idxtotoc to include Bibliography, Lists of Figures/Tables and Appendix. What is not mentioned is that Nomenclature is also included when using this command.
    Else,
    Add the following to the preamble:
    \def\nompreamble{\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\nomname}\markboth{\nomname}{\nomname}} 
    
##################################################
How can I get Bibliography, Lists of Figures/Tables and Appendix to appear in the table of contents (TOC)?
    If you use a KOMA class: use the document option liststotoc
    Else: use the package tocbibind from CTAN:/, i.e. \usepackage{tocbibind}
    If you use \usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind} instead, the toc will not show up in the toc.

From my letter to Lyx User Group, corrected for chapter, not section (which does not work):
The following link
https://github.com/scottkosty/lyx-princeton-diss
allows to download the scottkosty /lyx-princeton-diss
(use the green box "code")
The trick is to put (by using the \usepackage{appendix} in the preamble behind the place where one wants to insert the subappendix/ces (here chapter 3) the following (as an example):

%%at end of chapter 3 add:
\begin{subappendices} %%in ERT
Appendix %% as chapter*
3.A Appendix of Chapter 3 %% as section
3.B Appendix of Chapter 3 %% as section
\end{subappendices} %%in ERT

This results in te pdf output as:

Appendix

3.A. Appendix of Section 3.4
3.B. Appendix of Section 3.5
