Are you talking about some sort of MDI interface?

I'm not sure what you mean by "windows within the main window" but I
guess you mean some sort of MDI mechanism.

If so, you should probably be aware that fltk does not really support
MDI operation, so this may not work right.

Yes, though it may not be trivial. Once the drag starts, you may need to
remove the window from it's parent then add it back in.
That should force it to the end of the hierarchy, which should force it
on top. Probably...

There may be a better way.

For my part, I'd advise against MDI anyway...!
