I thought the last tuesday would be covered by above.
But it has run everyday since 22nd.
Have googled a bit:

plus other crontab pages.

Am uncertain if above would work ootb.
man crontab (22 September 2010) doesn't shed light on this.
Try the following
eg. this picks out the first sunday of the month
07 03 1-7 * * test `date +\%a` = Sun && /usr/local/bin/backup-full
So
15 18 22-28 * * test 'date +\%a' = Tue && command

Not sure if your syntax will work. If it doesn't, here's what has
worked for me:
23 1 22-28 * * [ `date +\%a` == "Tue" ] && /usr/local/bin/my-script
