Can you swap one for the other?

No. Lime and chayote are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

Almost everything chayote carries, lime has too: 216 of chayote's 217 flavor molecules also occur in lime. Among the shared key aromas are coumarin (sweet, hay) and 2-methylbutyraldehyde (malty, chocolate). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
