Do I understand this correctly:
Swing elbows violation negates a basket unless those same swinging elbows make contact. Then you get to count the basket and call foul.
we may well have a good basket and a technical foul for fighting, ejection from game.

The contact with the elbow happened during a live ball. By rule,it then has to be a personal foul of some type, not a technical foul. The only way that you can end up with an ejection in this case is if you call the elbow contact a flagrant personal foul. Hitting someone with an elbow doesn't really fit the definition of "fighting".
