Emacs remote compile with multiple commands using TRAMP

Question

So I have no trouble using remote compile if the Makefile is in the same directory as the file I'm editing using M-x compile. The problem is if I need to switch to the root project directory, it tells me that the path cannot be found via the CDPATH environment variable. To get around this I simply just opened a dired buffer in the project root directory and compiled from there. Due to a restructuring we now need to call source on a file in that directory for some configuration options and attempting to do source Sourceme && make which works locally results in a file not found on the Sourceme file. Is there a way around this in TRAMP? I've tried the common suggestions and already have ControlMaster in ssh set but even with M-x remote-compile it always prompts for a password even with ControlMaster set.

Changing the compile command to bash -c "first_cmd && second_cmd..." seems to be a quick hack around it.
