I looked at your example, and what you call "incrementing the depth" is in
reality a text box in your math formula. LyX turns the entire formula in a
multine formula since multline is a formula environment (i. e. it opens a
new math formula and cannot not be used inside an existing one).
What you want to try is simply not possible in LaTeX. Text inside a math
formula can only contain very few constructs, in particular opnly simple
math formulas.

I am sure that you can get the desired effect with some other AMS
environments, read the AMS docuementation if you want to know more about
them.
