After I had a macro that worked, I tried to improve it by making some parameters optional.
Unfortunately the macro no longer works. Instead I'm getting errors I do not understand, for example:



LaTeX Warning: Label `{}####5' multiply defined.
! Illegal parameter number in definition of fLab.


The last code I tried looked like this:



%% Graphics figure with caption and label
% [1:placement,] 2:relative width, 3:file name[, 4:caption[, 5:label]]
newcommand{figCapLab}[5][htbp]{%
ifthenelse{equal{#5}{}}%
{renewcommand{fLab}{}}%
{renewcommand{fLab}{label{##5}}}%
ifthenelse{equal{#4}{}}%
{renewcommand{fCap}{fLab}}%
{renewcommand{fCap}{caption{fLab{small{}##4}}}}%
begin{figure}[#1]%
centering%
begin{minipage}[t]{#2textwidth}%
includegraphics[width=textwidth]{#3}% is width of surrounding minipage
fCap%
end{minipage}%
end{figure}
}
%% Graphics figure with caption
% [1:placement,] 2:relative width, 3:file name, 4:caption
newcommand{figCap}[4]{%
ifthenelse{equal{#1}{}}%
{figCapLab{#2}{#3}{#4}{}}%
{figCapLab[#1]{#2}{#3}{#4}{}}%
}
%% Graphics figure with label
% [1:placement,] 2:relative width, 3:file name, 4:label
newcommand{figLab}[4]{%
ifthenelse{equal{#1}{}}%
{figCapLab{#2}{#3}{}{#4}}%
{figCapLab[#1]{#2}{#3}{}{#4}}%
}


Who can explain what went wrong?
