If I understand you correctly, there's two things you need to do to achieve 
this:

(1) Make sure you target the popup window by name, and use the same name 
for each instance of the popup behaviour. This will reuse the new window if 
it's already open.

(2) In _each_ target window's html page, on the body tag, include a little 
javascript tag that says:
  "onLoad="javascript:self.focus()"  This will bring the focus back to the 
popup when the behaviour loads it.

Works for me anyway. Hope this helps.
