Mutual exclusive cues

Is there a way to make two cues mutually exclusive?

Example. if cue 1 is running, clicking cue 2 will not do anything
if cue 2 is running, clicking cue 1 will not do anything.
you have to have one OFF to use the other.

I have two (DMX controlled) effects in our projector that interfere and get stuck. I want to prevent both from being simultaneously activated. The effects have an activation time of about 1 second, so simply using a cue-start script to stop the other fx doesn't work as the mechanics jam unless there is a delay and you can't use a delay in a start script.

how can you get a boolean on whether a cue is running?
how can you use that boolean to stop a cue from activating when you click it?
Is there a way to force a DMX cue to do a slight delay when clicked?
