IMHO, a lydian is a backwards mixolydian in the sense that they're both on 
either side of the ionian mode, if you map the ecclesiastic modes on the 
circle of fifths: F:lydian, C:ionian, G:mixolydian... if you remove 
VII from ionian, it may as well be mixolydian, and likewise, if you remove 
IV from lydian, it may as well be ionian. Any pair of adjacent modes 
on the circle of fifths are only different by one degree, and which 
degree it is also follows the circle of fifths: IV and VII are a fifth 
apart.

If you leave a degree out in a lydian, you can make it sound like it's a 
ionian, and then the real ionian next to it would immediately sound like 
it's mixolydian, right?

Else, I have no clue how lydian and mixolydian are related.

I don't understand music.
