Here's your first problem. Each time you open a MIAW, you're assigning
it to the same variable, pMIAWGlobal. Every time you open a new MIAW,
you're overwriting the global variable.
Either have 8 globals, one for each MIAW, or assign them to a list
element.

And here's your second problem. You absolutely cannot have a MIAW close
itself. You're making a call to a Director function, and every call must
return. But you're destroying the calling object, so there's no place
for the return to go. Hence the script error.
Do this instead. Here's a movie script:
global gMIAWTimeOut
global gMiawName1 -- use one of your globals
on CloseModalDLOG miawName
if not voidP(window miawName) then
gMIAWTimeOut = timeOut(miawName).new(50, #mForgetWindow, VOID)
end if
end
on mForgetWindow
lWindowName = gMIAWTimeOut .name
if not voidP(window lWindowName) then
window(lWindowName).forget()
gMiawName = VOID
end if
end
In your MIAW, use this script:
tell the stage
closeModalDLOG myName -- set myName when you open the MIAW
end tell
