How to use List-like environment within another environment?

For example, if I want to define multiple things in my "Definition 2", I want these things to be itemized, how can I do it? when I try to do it, the environment changes into Itemize, so it's not part of my "Definition 2" anymore.

i included a picture to be more clear, as you can see, the a1 and a2 lines are NOT part of my Definition 2 anymore.

I am absolutely no expert on LyX (I've used it once a few minutes ago). One way would be insert TeX code directly into the definition. I would think there should be a better way, though.

You need to leave a space between \item and »a«. If you look at the source \LyX otherwise uses \itema which in consequence leads to an undefined control sequence error.

wow, it worked thanks!!!

although i wonder if there is a more sophisticated way to do it without using TeX code. or a less sophisticated way, depends on how you look at it
