I think you've misunderstood how to use .wait_window(). Also,
the new windows should (I guess) have a parent that still lives
when you close the modal. (Otherwaise you can never use them.)
Finally, .lower() is useful.

Did you mean like this?

from Tkinter import *

def showWindow(master):
    myToplevel=Toplevel(master)
    Label(myToplevel, text="MY MAIN TOPLEVEL WINDOWS").pack()
    Button(myToplevel, text="CLICK", command=(lambda
      myToplevel=myToplevel:showMoreWindow(master, myToplevel)
      )).pack()
    master.wait_window(myToplevel)

def showMoreWindow(master, modal):
    x = Toplevel(master)
    x.lower(modal)
    x.wait_window(modal)

root=Tk()
Button(root, text="HI", command=(
   lambda root=root:showWindow(root))).pack()
root.mainloop()
