You have added the buttons to the mdi-client panel of the container.
Anything in there will stay on top there is nothing you can do about that.
You can however limit the mdi-client panel to only be the size underneath your buttons.
So have your buttons in a panel docked to the top or bottom or left or right (whatever you want) of the mdi-container.
Then check the mdi-client panel (best done with the document outline window)
