Other than an initial departure heading (i.e. "fly runway heading", or
something like that), I'm having trouble thinking of a situation where the
next fix would be behind you. If they've already vectored you past a fix
in your initial clearance, I'd skip it and go to the next one.

But, like I've said before, it's easy to sit here on my comfy living room
couch and hypothesize about what the right thing to do is. When it happens
to you, you'll be in the best position to figure out what makes the most
sense given the situation.
