I use svn but the server is within the institutional firewall so I can
not share the document with co-authors outside of the institution. In
this case, I would embed all external files and send it to my
co-author.

Per the child document issue, I tend to disallow embedding of child
documents. Because the whole point of having child documents is that
users can edit child documents as independent LyX documents, embedding
them in the master document does not make sense to me. Anyway, maybe I
should leave this choice to users.
