But it's fine, with your help I've settled the problem. 

THE SOLUTION :
(with it, emacs.app launch Emacs if there is nos instances in motion. If there 
is an instance of Emacs, the file is open with it (with the emacsclient 
command).

1) put this in your .emacs :
(server-start)

2) and put this in your emacs.app/emacs :

#!/bin/sh
# Usage: emacs [ -GSFilePath file ]
# simple GNUstep launch script for emacs/xemacs
#
EMACS=emacs21-x
GNUCLIENT=emacsclient
#GNUCLIENT=gnuclient
#GNUCLIENT=/usr/bin/emacsclient
#
#--FUNCTIONS
#
usage()
{
echo Usage: `basename $0` '[ -GSFilePath file ]'
exit 2
}
#-- MAIN
#
# -- establish name of file to be opened
#
if [ $# -eq 2 ] ; then
  if [ "$1" = "-GSFilePath" ] ; then
    file="$2"
  else
    usage
  fi
elif [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
  file=
else
  usage
fi
# -- check if gnuserv (emacs remote file opener)
# -- is running
ps -Ac | fgrep emacsserver
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    $GNUCLIENT $file &
else
    $EMACS $file &
fi

thank you for your help :)
