How does one SET focus? Why is there a focustarget and targetfocus? Why the opposites?

This would help me understand how to make my macros. Can somebody point me to an explanation?

Thx
When i set focus in a macro, i do a /target x and then a /focus.
But a /focus x might set x as your focus as well. However i don't believe so.

I don't remember the exact names for them, but most things (targets?) that are valid, like target, player, pet and focus can be added after each other. So targettarget would be your targets target. Focustarget and targetfocus are just consequences of this mechanic.

As an example, i use /focus when i cast my fire elemental. I cast it and set
it as my focus by clicking on the icon with my right mouse button.
[code:1]
/target Greater Fire Elemental
/focus
[/code:1]

I can then cast Lesser Healing Wave on it by using this in the macro:
[code:1]
/cast [target=focus] Lesser Healing Wave
[/code:1]

I can also give my elemental some support by casting lightning bolt on his target by using:

[code:1]
/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt
[/code:1]

This way i can both heal and support him with DPS without switching my target. All this with the use of our friend focus :-)

That's as i have it figured. Mind you i haven't started multiboxing yet, but i have written some quite useful macros for my shaman.
