There's a difference between Dialog and Frame you know. A Dialog could
be set to modal, a Frame not. That said, in an InternalFrame context
it's possible to add InternalFrames to different layers, so that one
Frame will appear on top of another in a modal fashion. Have a look at
swing.JLayeredPane.
The Metalworks demo in the swing example dir. demonstrate this
effect. Check out MetalworksFrame.java with a careful eye to the
xxxLAYER members.

There is an excellent article at Swing-connection called
'Understanding Containers' - read it!
