Exactly. That would be nice.

Not necessarily. I assume FVWM manages a list internally in order to know in
which order to draw windows, e.g. when a screen update happens. A command like
topmost would go through that list, starting from the highest window and
proceed step by step to the lowest window if necessary.

No, that's not what I want. For example, I often have the problem that a
nonfocusable button bar obscures the topmost focusable window. Then I
want that window to be focused (and maybe raised). Here's a little illustration:

                    +-----------+
                    |some window|
              +-------------+ |
              | some window |----------+
        +---------------+ | currently|
        |Topmost |---+ focused |
     +-------+ focusable| | window |
     |BUTTONS| window | +------------+
     +-------+----------+
