That would be a general cycle windows.
Hmmm...
  Unfortunately openbox does not seem to have a general window cycling.
that is independent of current location or focus. :-(
EG: raise deepest to top
and the reverse: cycle topmost window to bottom.

I do remember TWM and CTWM having this action!

I suppose an external script or program could be made to do this
(anyone like a program challenge), but forking an external program
for what should be a window manager function is a little slow.
