How to keep the application turned on / in the foreground while the script is running?

I use Applescript to automate application deployment with Xcode 4. For this, I use System Events to click menu items on the menu bar. Everything works for me, but with one quirk. If the user clicks elsewhere while my script is running, this Xcode 4 window comes out of the foreground, my whole script fails. Is there a way to get Xcode in the foreground from my script?

Now, if only Xcode 4 was at least as scriptable as Xcode 3, I would not have to resort to GUI automation.
