I believe in general, the order you create your widgets
determines the default keyboard focus traversal which is what you are
talking about when you use the <TAB> and <Shift-Tab>
to change the focus. So if you can have your program build the widget
heirarchy in the order you want the keyboard focus
traversal to proceed it would be one simple solution.
If you can't do that, you can change the
the stacking order of the widgets which is what really controls
the focus traversal. You can use the raise and lower
Tk commands to change the stacking order after the widgets
have already been created. This would have the effect of
changing the keyboard traversal (I think). Check out the man page on
raise, lower and tk_focusNext and tk_focusPrev
