Just start ClickToFront *after* autofacc.

ClickToFront sees AutoFacc's "Mouse" movements, and responds just like
if the user had made them.

Why, you could just look at the source in comp.bitbucket.amiga !! :-) :-) :-)

ClickToFront hooks into the input.device stream at priority 51, just before
Intuition.  This means it sees all real mouse events, and all fake mouse
events added by sneaky software.
If two of these are mouse down events over windows, and meet the double-click
time the current window will be poped to the front.  Avoid doing that while
recording, and everything will go as planned.  Even if a double-click event
is generated, it often will be harmless.
This precludes use with "SunMouse" or "AutoPoint" since these generate
fake mouse down events for EVERY KEYBOARD KEY that is pressed. 
Two solutions are possible:
1> Ignore mouse double-clicks that have a keyboard event interspersed
   (a good idea in any case...)
2> Add "AutoPoint" to "ClickToFront", as an option.  Too bad for all you
   AutoPoint fans that I just don't like AutoPoint...
