If you're lucky, the tda template will be based upon some standard LaTeX 
template (e.g., report or book), and you can get a working layout very 
simply: Copy report.layout (say) to tda.layout, and put that into your 
LyX user directory. Look at the tda.cls file (or post it here). You are 
likely to find some material that shows what it is based upon.
