The version of multifinder currently is 6.1b9.

As for System 7.0, the menu that allows you to move applications has separate
items for set aside self and set aside others.  I use the set aside self 
option quite a bit, so I'm not sure that having Set aside all others as a
default is necessary, but one hint for those using 6.1b9.  If you have windows
from more than one app on your desktop, command-option clicking in a window
from another application (in another "layer" in technical terms) will "set
aside" the current app (the one in the foreground) before switching to the
app you just switched to - a handy shortcut.
