You don't need to customize LyX for this. Simply write each chapter in
a separate LyX file (which you can compile and view separately without
the need to comment out anything,) and create a master  thesis file
where you include each chapter with Insert -> File -> Child Document
(selecting "Include" as the Include type.) Make sure that all your
chapters have the same document class as the main file. Put the TOC
and bibliography in the main file as well and you'll be able to cite
it from all chapters.
