G'day
I've been dealing with this for 5 years with a mail graphics printing script I have.
1. The script has to address Applications by their Finder name, e.g. Adobe Acrobat 9 is the folder name, whereas Adobe Acrobat Pro is the Finder name.
2. The Process name can be the same for different iterations of an Application. e.g. version 4 & 5 of the Adobe suite use the same process names, but different Finder names. From memory, if both versions of an Apps iterations are open at once, the Finder is intelligent enough to use the last version of the process name. I'm pretty sure I tested it several years ago, and found that. Could be wrong tho (grin).
Every time Adobe update their CS suite, I have to update the Application names, but usually not the process names.

Yeah Alex, that's jogged my memory. I had to get my Client to remove CS4 from their processing Mac, because the Finder opened the first version of illustrator it saw, seemingly dependant on how the Applications folder was arranged.
It may be the same with two opened apps that have the same process name. I'd bet that the process addressed is the first process in the order of processes
