This may turn out to be very long and boring challenge.

Gilly assist -> Eve aerobraking -> Gilly assist > Eve aerobraking - with corrective maneuvers of some 15m/s per pass, this could take a very long time.

Or if you define "flyby" as merely entering SOI of given body (just as the game does) just enter Eve's retrograde orbit that skirts the very edge of Gilly's SOI so that it would hardly affect your orbit (and correct from time to time).

Can I use regular engines for launching the ship out of Kerbin orbit? The ion engines are bad for that.
