Not quite. There are 2 different options. One is "clear orders upon any alien ship in system" and the other is "clear orders upon any enemy ships in system".

Not quite.
Here is the original text:
*) Ships should clear their orders upon entering a system containing an enemy presence
*) Ships should clear their orders upon entering a system containing any other empire

What i want: My ships shall not stop if the y see allied ships. But any other ships shall make them stop.
So I have the first enabled ("an enemy presence") and the second disabled ("any other empire") - but my ships stop if they see my ally. Perhaps the real question is: What is "an enemy"?
If I have a trade treaty with empire XYZ, are they my enemies? If I have a military alliance with empire XYZ, are they my enemies? ...

It's on the options menu which is accessed through the button which gets you load/save/quit

No, it's on the other options menu, under (F11) Status/Empire Options.

An enemy is a race with whom you have a state of None, War, or Non-Interference. Anything else is an ally, except possibly Non-Aggression, which I'm not sure about. I have no idea why your ships are stopping.
