You didn't answer the question, which was, when you Wong in, must you have started backcounting the shoe from the very beginning, right after the shuffle, or may you begin backcounting after the shoe has already begun (but near the beginning)?
And the answer, of course, is that, while the former is preferable, the latter is also acceptable, if you just mentally place the cards that you missed at the back of the shoe.
