How to remove intersecting boxes

Hi 

I have a problem that I can't fix. I need to remove boxes that intersects each other, but only so that there will be one box left. Example if four boxes intersects, I need to remove 3 of them, and one is remaining. The boxes that are intersecting have their baseplane in different z values, so I can't use the region intersect tool to remove them. What should i do?

I cheated and wrote a VB script for it. It's sort of optimized in that it first tries to get the answer by intersecting bounding-boxes, which is much cheaper than intersecting breps.
