I have similar questions, but almost no experience with child documents. Ideally I would like to be able to first compile the entire document, and then edit and compile a child document, separately from the rest of the master document, but still see citations and reference numbers as they will appear when the entire document is compiled. Can LyX manage this? If not would this be a reasonable enhancement request?

Thanks, 

Hal
