If there's air in the caliper with the stuck bleeder then you have what my now be know as "The Hayden Syndrome."  :-D  A caliper full of air will affect all of the others but not by "infecting" it.  Any air will allow a "soft" spot for the fluid to compress into rather than operate a piston.  The air won't spread but air, regardless of where it is, does the same thing
Hey now, I do have a 56 year old brain that sometimes causes me to do stupid things.  ;^)  Hayden
