The idea is that you do nothing. If you use the settings "default",
then LyX will not use any particular option, and you will get 12pt
times font.

The settings in the layout file describe what the cls file defaults
are. This means that your myreport.cls file should contain the statement
\ExecuteOptions{twocolumn,twoside}
and then LyX will correctly not have to pass the parameters.

You used ClasOption instead of ClassOptions. Looks like a typo to me.
Hope this helps.
