/cast [target=focus-target, exists, nodead, harm] Lightning Bolt
/cast [target=focus-target, exists, nodead, help] Healing Wave
/cast [target=focus-target, exists, dead, help] Ancestral Spirit I'm using this on my main and ?(

/cast [target=focus-target, harm] Lightning Bolt
/cast [target=focus-target, exists, nodead, help] Healing Wave on my slaves. ( I'm four boxing ) and when I'm trying to attack a mob only one of my slaves is casting lightning bolt while the other two are doing healing wave on my main, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong really since the macro works at one of my slaves but the other two it doesn't work on :s Makes me horrible confused :p ?(

Is "focus-target" a valid command? I always throught it was 1 word "focustarget".

Are you sure your other slaves are setting your focus target correctly?

Sounds to me like your macros are not correct, your focus is not setting correctly and you are getting your target on the first slave via tab targetting. The other two are casting HW because they are targetted to your main {"help"} from your autofollow macro, probably.

It could be that the two alts who are casting healing wave are not picking up the change of target quckly enough, if you cast a second time on the same mob are they still casting healing wave? Another thing would be to check the focus macro for those two toons to make sure they have the correct character focused.

You could also condense your macro so it takes up less space, probably not vital, but can be handy later on if you want to make more complicated macros. Also I'm pretty sure you can remove the exists condition from that macro.
The following should work in the same way, but uses less characters:

/cast [target=focus-target,harm] Lightning Bolt; [target=focus-target,dead,help] Ancestral Spirit; [target=focus-target,help] Healing Wave

Needed a slight reordering as otherwise it would always try to cast healing wave on a friendly target even if it was dead.

So for the alts the macro would be:

/cast [target=focus-target,harm] Lightning Bolt; [target=focus-target,nodead,help] Healing Wave

How are yeh setting the focus?
I think its a timing issue as in the focus hasnt had time to update on all chars. Therefore there doing different things.

What kel said :P

Also would suggest getting an addon frame or something that show what the current focus is.
