Classic Window Management gives you the option to have windows in Mac OS X behave like they did in Mac OS 9, where all of an application's windows stayed grouped together. So when you click on one window, all windows belonging to that application come to the front.
The Classic Style Window Layering is particularly useful in the Finder. Normally, in OS X, when you click on the Desktop you switch to the Finder but none of its windows are brought forward. With CWM, all open Finder windows are brought to the front, just like they were in OS 9. (This was actually the primary motivation behind

But the OS X Way can be useful! CWM gives you the choice of which layering style you want to use as a default - Classic or OS X. And you can set a modifier key you can use to invoke the alternate style. So you can enjoy Classic Style but still be able to bring just a single window forward when you need it. Or using OS X Style, windows freely interleave, but a modified click lets you easily bring all of an application's windows to the front when you want to. It's the best of both worlds!
