Here are a few options that you can do in your situation. One thing that is easily addressed is the "tiling" you spoke about. You can set the run-time position of any VI by changing the VI properties>>Window Run-Time Position options. If you set these properties explicitly you should be able to get the effect that you want. The whole "shouldn't go behind idea is a little confusing," however even with clarification they only thing you could attempt is Modal Operation. This can be set in VI Properties>>Window Appearance>>Customize>>Window Behavior. When a VI is set to Modal and is running, NO other VI can be interacted with and the running VI will always be "On Top" of other VIs.
I hope this gives you some ideas as to what you can do, but if you do need any further help, please post. 🙂
