I have a large monitor so even with one window showing the *compilation*
buffer I often have multiple relevant files visible.
When next-error visits a file it always does so in the "other-window" even
when that file is already visible elsewhere on the frame.
Is it possible to suppress this "other-window" behavior?

What version of Emacs is that?  Looking at compilation-goto-locus on
the current master branch and in Emacs 26.3, it sounds like the
behavior you want should already be the default.  Maybe submit a bug
report with more details?
