I have written a LaTeX math document with lyx (using document ams class), but now my teacher sent me some LaTeX code which should make the style as he wants it.
I tried a few options to insert the LaTeX code, none worked:
1) add (through lyx) the LaTeX code itself – This didn't work, since there were double definitions, both in the lyx default generated LaTeX code, and the LaTeX code I inserted.
2) through MiKTeX TeXworks- I exported my lyx document to LaTeX, and tried to change all the definitions before \begin{document} to the ones my teacher sent me – This didn't compile, complained about missing definitions, xtra, xtra.
3) through bakoma – i tried opening my exported lyx code, and then inserting the code my teacher sent me at the beginning – This actually worked, but the bibliography and figure placement got ruined – the figures were put at the end, and the bibliography disappeared.
Anyone has any ideas ? What should be the right way to tackle my problem? Attached is the code my teacher sent me

There's an issue with the Latex file you give: page layout parameters are duplicated, with some, such as
topmarginbeing defined in two different ways.I've imported this into Lyx without too much bother. Instructions:
\newcommand{\handout}[5]{and ending before\begin{document}.This will then compile.
An issue with this: Lyx will automatically import AMS packages and some others that it knows of, if it sees that you need them, but as I have it, it won't import the other packages defined in the Latex file you gave us. You can paste in the needed
\usepackagelines if you need them, but if you use Lyx for writing, you probably will not need these.
