It works for me - though there's a catch...

On Mac OS 10.6.8 with LyX 2.0.5 I can get the included files to work *only* if 
they are located in

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly/ 
(right-click on the Lilypond app and 'show package contents')

e.g. a source file that has: 

\include "bagpipe.ly" 

compiles for me in LyX if there is a file:

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly/bagpipe.ly

/include "path/to/some/file.ly" does not work in LyX even if the file compiles 
as normal with 'regular' Lilypond
