If I understood you correctly (!): What do you need LyX for in the first
place ?!?
You want to write an accounting software, which programatically creates
(or modifies) tex-files which then are typeset into PDF (or whatever)
using latex/pdflatex? Then how does LyX fit in there?
Of course you could also create LyX files programatically, but that only
adds an extra layer (with IMHO little benefit).
LyX is not a "latex editor", it is a document processor (for writing),
which happens to use latex-machinery for creating output.
Or I got you completely wrong ...
