 I mean a LiMe router joining -as a station- a third-party AP (in
 infrastructure mode), use that connection as a WAN, and keeping every
 LiMe feature. 
Yep, it is absolutely doable.
I would use a wireless network interface on the router exclusively for
acting as client, I'm pretty sure you can't do station, AP and mesh at
the same time with the same interface :)
You can find instructions for this in /docs/lime-example in your router
or online here:

I copy and paste here the interesting part:

# If you want to use Wifi client mode just to connect to an AP offering
internet
# you need two pieces of configuration the wifi specific configuration
and the
# network specific one like in the following example.
#config wifi radio13
#	list modes 'client'
#	option channel_2ghz 'auto'
#	option client_ssid 'SomeWiFiNetwork'
#	option client_key 'SomeWPApskPassword'
#	option client_encryption 'psk'               # psk for WPA or psk2 for
WPA2
#config net wirelessclient
#	option linux_name 'wlan0-client'             # the client interface
name could be named differently, like wlan1-client
#	list protocols 'wan'                         # use wan to get Internet
connectivity via DHCP
