You need a separate environment for the enumerate_continuously.

You might try

 - - - < s n i p > - - -
\newcounter{myEnumCounter}
\newcounter{mySaveCounter}
\newenvironment{enumerate_continuously}{%
 \begin{list}{\arabic{myEnumCounter}.}{\usecounter{myEnumCounter}%
 \setcounter{myEnumCounter}{\value{mySaveCounter}}}
 }{%
 \setcounter{mySaveCounter}{\value{myEnumCounter}}\end{list}%
}
\newcommand\myEnumReset{\setcounter{mySaveCounter}{0}}
 - - - < s n i p > - - - 

and look in the Extended guide to see how to make a LyX paragraph style out
of it (or see at the layouts in $lyxdir/layout, copy one to ~/.lyx/layout
and modify...)

For the second level (and subsequent ones) I suppose things get more
complicated: you might need a good LaTeX book to see how to solve this...
