Somewhere in your config file you said you want such automatical raising.
ClickToFocusRaises or MouseFocusClickRaises.
What you described is one of the reasons I personaly don't use these
options, they just do not do what you want. Because sometimes you want a
window to be raised and sometimes not, so the solution is the explicit
raising, not automatic. But some folks like automatic raising on click.
To solve your problem, you may add to the end of your config:
Style remedy ClickToFocusRaisesOff, MouseFocusClickRaisesOff
Replace remedy with the correct string or "*".
To explicitely raise a window on click together with Alt/Meta key you may
add something like:
Mouse 2 WIFS M MoveOrRaiseLower
DestroyFunc MoveOrRaiseLower
AddToFunc MoveOrRaiseLower
+ H Move
+ M Move
+ C RaiseLower
This way you don't need to cycle through everything. Just click mouse
button 2 while pressing Alt, one or more times inside any window.

Mikhael.
