Many of these sorts of errors occur because of a mistaken environment
setting. For example, if you accidentally have a whole bunch of stuff
included in a "heading" type environment, it can mess things up badly.
Of course, if you have some ERT included, you might have a problem
there, too. LyX is really quite good at writing tex that actually
compiles, so if it doesn't, there is usually some sort of unnoticed
mistake somewhere.
The previous suggestion is a good one, though. Break the file up (after
saving it) into pieces to see in which piece the problem lies. If you
still can't isolate it, put the smallest bad chunk of the document on
the list, and I'll take a look at it.
