Flo, You may just want to use latexmk as your latex compiler in textmate. It is smart enough to run bibtex and makeindex and latex as many times as necessary to get your document into shape. If you are using the standard off the shelf TextMate you will want to set the environment variable TM_LATEX_COMPILER=latexmk If you are using the new branch in the subversion repository then you can just go to the preferences panel and check the latexmk.pl box.

And could I have a more generalized form, lets say one that fits every time?
