OK I see, Thanks.

Why don't you just execute
    :compiler tex
(which in turns calls =AB:runtime! compiler/tex.vim=BB) ?
This modification fixed the problem -- in my configuration at least.

Is there any incompatibilities between $VIMRUNTIME/compiler/tex.vim
(t63) and the one from LaTeXSuite (tls) that you want to load only
LaTeXSuite's one ?

If t63 is loaded first, then tls will override the definitions that need
to be overriden, and LaTeXSuite will ignore the other ones I guess. If
tls is loaded first, then it can set =ABcurrent_compiler=BB which will ab=
ort
the sourcing of t63.

That would be too easy. ;)
As LaTeXSuite and my configuration are quite redundant, I wanted to
progressivelly integrate LaTeXSuite. Thus I had to rewrite some plugins
of mine (like my context-dependant bracketing system) in order to fix
the problems I had, and I didn't wanted the plugin of LaTeXSuite (like
imaps.vim) to interact with my plugins the time I was fixing them.

It is because you used =AB:runtime=BB and not =AB:runtime!=BB I guess.

It is, it is.
First of all I do not need to maintain things like tex-tools.vim
anymore.  :) I can focus on my set of C&C++ ftplugins.

I will have to search within the archive if haven't missed threads about
little customisations I am interrested in (how to disable the preview of
the log file (which is not automatically reloaded BTW) , how to
integrate HT4Tex, ...), and you will see me again. :)

Thanks!
