You have two definitions of setFrontWin. One has a "print win" in it - the other does not.
"of course" this is irrelevant, but my first step would be to make the two definitions of setFrontWind
Even better, I would combine the two tests into one script, using only ONE definition of setFrontWin.

I tested setFrontWin() using the script below, that loops through all of the open windows and moves them to the front. This works fine.
