Help with modifying how auto-raise works

I don't like auto-raise, so I set the variable auto-raise-screen to nil
in my .emacs file.  On the other hand, I would like to have
find-file-other-screen, which is what I normally use to popup new or old
screens with files in them, automatically raise the screen with the file
I named in it.  Right now, with auto-raise-screen nil, if there is
already a screen with that file in it, the mouse is warped to be over
the screen, but the screen is not raised.  If the screen is covered,
this can be less than helpful, in fact rather confusing.  I typically
keep many screens around, so this is important to efficiently dealing
with my display.

I tried installing a new focus handler which looks at a different
variable, so there would be separate focus and lisp-code-invoked raise
policies.  This seemed to have no effect on the operation of either the
focus events or the lisp code.  I really don't have time just now to get
deeply into the screen-handling code in epoch.el.  If anyone out there
can give me a pointer to how to deal with this, I'd appreciate it.
