Try

(defvar my-window nil)
(defvar my-last-window nil)

(defun my-last-window ()
  (unless (or (window-minibuffer-p)
              (eq (selected-window) my-window))
    (setq my-last-window my-window)
    (setq my-window (selected-window))))

(add-hook 'buffer-list-update-hook 'my-last-window)

(defun select-last-window ()
  (interactive)
  (when (and (window-live-p my-last-window)
             (not (eq my-last-window (selected-window))))
    (select-window my-last-window)))
