If a scaffold is continues all the way around a building in effect forming a large type of box tie, does it still require rakers.

If the scaffold has the proper sway braces on each fracade then you do not need ties or rakers for a distance of 3 meters from each corner.
Remember a raker can only be 3 meters long any longer and you need to brace it.
