This is as expected: You've basically made resume a completely minimal
class, since all you've done is to import what's common to (almost) all
classes.
If you want the LyX layout to include whatever is specific to
resume.cls, then all of that has to be declared. Have a look, for
example, at moderncv.layout, and at Chapter 5 of the Customization manual.
