I have reverse-bled clutches many times. The clutch lines are usually larger than brake lines, making it very hard to force bubbles down. But they go up very easily when you reverse-bleed.
However, I've never done it by using the brakes. Rather, I forced fluid in from a bottle of brake fluid with a hose inserted to the bottom. It would be easy to adapt a standard pressure bleeder to do this. You must ensure that you don't overflow the master cylinder reservoir when you do this.

It works
but make sure you tighten the bleeder screws at caliper and slave before touching that clutch pedal. Otherwise you'll blow off the hose connected at the slave and bathe the undersurface of the car and the garage floor with brake fluid. Experience is a wonderful teacher.

Bleeding the clutch using the r/f brake caliper is really easy IF you use tiny hose clamps on the two different size nipples. Just hook up the hose, open both bleeders, pump like crazy, close bleeders, done, not a big deal.

You mean there are cars with separate reservoirs? Other than old Brit cars? Maybe I've had too many German cars to realize what the rest of the world is doing.

how
how do you address the fact that once the bleeded valve at the brake caliber is opened the threads have lost thier seal and air can be drawn into the system?

 The car is up on stands so I kneel beside the car and pump the brake pedal with my hand quite a few times, crawl under close both nipples and check to see if theres "clutch" yet, if no, do it again.
