I can't remember whether I follow the same produce outlined in the book, I'm 
sure it is more or less like that but modified a little bit.

The TextMate bundle is the best tool for helping with Active4D/Fusebox. The 
"New Circuit" action is broken, I haven't had a chance to fix it.

No.

Setting up circuits is so easy it isn't worth spending much time on automated 
processes. You can create a skeleton circuit of your own, something like this:

circuit
   Controllers
   Models
   Views
   fbx_settings.a4d
   fbx_switch.a4d

Just duplicate as needed when you create a new circuit. The most useful 
TextMate bundle feature is the "sh" tab completion. It creates a standard 
fusebox header for a file with placeholders for the important sections of the 
header.
