To use a special or new LaTeX document class in LyX you have to install it and write a layout file for it following the instructions from the LyX wiki.

If your template is not a document class but based on a regular class, such as book, Memoir or KOMA and has a .tex file ending, then simply import it in LyX via the import menu.
