I'd just use bindings, since anyway you have to write the window names
implicitly. Something along the lines of
Mouse (window1) 1 T A All
("AppWindow1|AppWindow2|AppWindow3|AppWindow4",!Raised) Raise
Mouse (window2) 1 T A All
("AppWindow1|AppWindow2|AppWindow3|AppWindow4",!Raised) Raise
Mouse (window3) 1 T A All
("AppWindow1|AppWindow2|AppWindow3|AppWindow4",!Raised) Raise
....
If you need something more, you can elaborate a bit more around your FvwmEvent
idea,
like this:

This way, the event is disabled before raising the windows.
There might be better ways, I don't really know.
