(defun selected-window ()
  (first (window-list)))

(defvar *first-window*  nil)
(defvar *second-window* nil)

(defun designate-first-window ()
  "Sets the first window."
  (interactive)
  (setf *first-window* (selected-window)))

(defun designate-second-window ()
  "Sets the second window."
  (interactive)
  (setf *second-window* (selected-window)))

(defun skip-to-other-designated-window ()
  "Selects the other window (either the first or second)."
  (interactive)
  (if (eq (selected-window) *first-window*)
      (select-window *second-window*)
      (select-window *first-window*)))


(global-set-key (kbd "<f9>")  'skip-to-other-designated-window)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f10>") 'designate-first-window)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f11>") 'designate-second-window)

Type <f10> to designate your first window, <f11> to designate the second.
Then you can use <f9> to toggle between the two.
