Pop up on modal window

I have a modal window (it has to be modal) on which I would like to open another window (that is not modal). Is this possible?

No. The whole point of a modal window is that it is on top of everything else and blocks access to everything else.

 

Why does the window need to be modal? Would a floating window that's always on top work?

Yes, a floating window that is always top would work. But previous windows shouldn't be accessible. How can I make a floating window always on top?

No you are confusing, the main advantage of using the Floating window is that it will allow the other windows also accessible at the same time the floating window can also be accessed. Normally if you launch a window that is continuously running in a while will not allow the previous windows access.

Ok. I have three windows (window1, window2 and window3). Window1 calls window2 and window2 calls window3. When window2 is open window1 mustn't be accessible and when window3 is open window2 must be accessible. How can I achieve that?

Just make it as Dialog window then it will not let the previous window accessible.

As stated, this is not possible. One option might be to have window 1 temporarily hide its window while window 2 is open.
