pdfpage and Lyx, avoid superpositions of pages

Question

When I include a pdf-document inside a Lyx document using the function inside Lyx (Insert -> External Material) which calls pdfpages, at least two pages are super-impressed (one appear on top of an other one), it is either (suppose I put the pdf-document at the end of my typing)

the last page of the Lyx document and the first page of the pdf-document
the two-first pages of the pdf document, when I try to put a clear-page, page-break or new-page in Lyx in order to avoid the first problem

Is there a way to avoid this ? Is it material dependent, or a problem with my options in pdfpages (I just put pages=-, fitpaper=true) ?

I'm using revtex 4-1, is it possible it's a conflict between templates ?

Thanks for any help.

@George LyX adds that for you, and without it an error would be issued when creating the PDF. — Torbjørn T., Jun 06 '15 at 21:28
Have you tried adding a page break before the external material? — Torbjørn T., Jun 06 '15 at 21:29
@TorbjørnT. Thanks for your comment. I tried to put a page-break, new-page and clear-page. They all result in a superposition of the two first pages of the extra pdf-document. — FraSchelle, Jun 08 '15 at 05:45
Seems revtex is incompatible with pdfpages. There is a possible workaround in Inserting a PDF file in REVTeX 4.1 with reprint option (requires ERTs). Alternatively, you could generate the document without the included PDF, and merge the two PDFs afterwards. — Torbjørn T., Jun 08 '15 at 09:04

I had the same problem. As said Torbjørn T., it was a problem of incompatibility with revtex for me. I did a work around by adding an empty page at the start of my included pdf with the following code:

~ % unbreakable space
\thispagestyle{empty}
\addtocounter{page}{-1}
\newpage
