Yes, that's exactly right. Layout files are what tell LyX about document 
classes and their various resources. There is no way we can provide 
layout files for every possible document class. There are simply too many.

Since screenplay.cls is based upon article.cls, that gives you a place 
to start. But there seem to be a lot of custom commands and environments 
that would need attention.
