I don't know if it makes a difference, not being an Emacs person, but  
I think the Mode keyword is supposed to come first. Also we should  
probably have file encoding in the modeline

# -*- Mode: Tcl; coding: utf-8; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil;  
c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4
