on both windows and linux (I don't use mac), you only have to give the file name as an argument, no -open flags are necessary. It's also possible to give several files as argument to open them all (on my .bat file I use %1 %2 %3 %...)
when i start pd from the shell, i usually use "pd -lib bla patch.pd" when i start pd from a script, i usually use "pd -lib bla -open patch.pd"
in my experience it is sometimes necessary (or at least far less complicated) to use the "-open" flag instead of relying on the "everything after the last flag (or what i think is the last flag) is a pd-patch to be opened" (especially because is not really very good in detecting 'the last flag'.
