Trying to learn about enrage combos.
Small correction: All of the copies of Polyraptor and Wayward Swordtooth are 5/5's, it's just some of them have damage marked on them. Damage marked on a creature does not make its toughness go down, it just kills the creature if it is greater than or equal to the creature's toughness.

Please try to link all cards in your questions as to make understanding the question easier, Thank you.
Polyraptor
Forerunner of the Empire
Wayward Swordtooth
With this boardstate configuration there would only be a single order to your triggers and they would be:
-Wayward Swordtooth Enters the Battlefield triggering Forerunner of the Empires ability.
-You choose whether or not to let Forerunner of the Empires ability do 1 damage to each creature, if you do 1 damage is marked on all creatures.
Polyraptors ability triggers creating a copy of itself which in turn triggers Forerunner of the Empire again.
You may choose to loop this action 3 times before Forerunner of the Empire dies to its own ability and you would end up with a 5/2, 5/3, 2x 5/4s and 4x 5/5s of Polyraptor and a 5/2 Wayward Swordtooth.
If you do not kill Forerunner of the Empire with its own ability you can net gain x2 Polyraptors for every trigger.
