So many windows, so little time

Howdy...
Somehow I have a feeling this is elementary...but my poor brain simply will not....ya know.
problem...
Let's say you open three windows, each suceeding window is smaller than the last so that all three windows can be moused. Now you right click on the first
window that opened and it comes to the front and covers the other two windows...right? OK
What is the best way to NOT let that happen when you
right click the mouse over a window...not on a control just in the window...hmm...I do hope that is clear?

Let the first window be of type window, but the subsequent windows should be of type dialog_modal.
This will force the user to close the windows in the opposite order.
The positioning of the modal dialogs is special, since it is relative to the window opened before.

Thanks...Steve...
I wonder if I can just disable mouse commands for the
user...only while mouse is in windows that have no 'controls'....hmmm
