I could swear there was either FAQ or official rules text stating Resurrection is good enough to bring back undead (as long as you have a piece of the body left) but raise dead wasn't, and if you don't have a piece of the body (disintegrated dust counts, a shadow held in ghost touch chains doesn't) you have to go all the way up to True Resurrection.
Lemme check the SRD.
edit: forum ate mah post!
Anyway, yes, the spell descriptions are clear on which dead-fixing spells work on folks that were undead, and the use of the word "destroyed" makes it clear you gotta kill 'em first.
Sadly, reincarnate is NOT one of those spells that works, and the higher-level version of reincarnate does not exist in this edition.
