What I suggested above won't work - stupid me.
Instead, do it like JQuery does - wrap the whole thing up in a condition, ie: on line 1 of mootools.js (version 1.1.x) add:
if(typeof MooTools == 'undefined'){
***All the mootools stuff***
}

- I wouldn't mind getting hold of the source of the rt_tools js so I could have a look at that - eliminate that as a potential problem.

just remove it from the template and see if the error occurs. Serves the same purpose.
But yeah I wouldn' mind seeing it myself.

Quick (an maybe dirty) fix for all this??
open the mootools.v1.00 in the js folder in your rt theme folder
At the top of the file, after the comments, add:
if(typeof MooTools == 'undefined' || typeof Class == 'undefined'){
then right at the bottom, add
}
What this does is check to see if mootools is already present/has been loaded, if it has, it doesn't do it again.
Only drawback, is that you have to hope that the mootools version that will load has all the stuff you need...

Is the issue from the first post now solved perhaps? I got a bit lost reading all the posts...I use rt_business template and users cannot use IE7 to edit contents in frontend with JoomlaFCK or TinyMCE (they don't see "publish","images" etc. setting below...).
TIA

Sorry I came upon this thread a bit late....
This is a ridiculous motivation. Tell 90% of the world that they have to take another browser to enable using the RT templates. Sorry mate this is nonsense as is the reaction of moving away from Joomla 1.5. I do not care if somebody likes or dislikes IE. I cannot tell 90% of the world to use FF which happens to be also our browser of choice but thats irrelevant
I believe that all coders, web designers or anyone intersted in web compliance has the responsibility of educating the public of options related to browsers.
Realize this one glaring-fact... If any version of IE was not thrust into the computer owners face as it is with windows, would anyone, given the option, ever download and install a buggy piece of software like IE. It is full of security gaps (not saying FF doesn't have a few), incompatibilities, antiquated code requirements, and many other nuances that leave a bad taste in my mouth.
MS loves to boast their market-share of IE, but they are forgetting several things. 100% of all Windows machines come pre-installed and integrated into the operating system. Market-share, if you look at the true meaning of the phrase, is a measurement of choice. The customer choosing your product over another. When they force-feed their inferior product down peoples throat, no true market-share can be derived from this practice. The only thing one can measure is the "market-share" of other browsers. Because those who use FF, Netscape, Opera or now Safari, do so by choice and because they made an informed decision.
One of these days, I will quit writing special code for IE to work correctly and put up a special message for detected IE browsers stating... "I'm sorry, the browser you are using is antiquated and is not truely web compliant... Please download a compliant web browser such as FireFox or Safari and try again. Sorry for the inconvenience that Microsoft has caused you."
Enough of my rant...

I already do that wage,
why do you think I invented the shapechanger module? To hide nifty code that breaks ie and replace it with a download firefox add.
