The way out is through

Usually when you suck air in from the top while bleeding (*cough* Kevin!) it just means you've got to pick the shortest line in the car and bleed, and bleed, and bleed, until all the air is out. Then pick the next shortest, and repeat, then on to the next longest, etc, until you've bled out all the air from the whole system. It's likely going to waste a few cans of fluid, unless you've got a *really* clean collection can and are willing to recycle the bled fluid back into the reservoir.

You'll need to look up the proper bleeding sequence online to really make sure you get it right. Doing it out of order can lead to leaving air in the system that makes the pedal soft. Also, don't rush the process... nice slow pumps on the pedal make a huge difference in the quality of the job when you're all done.
