Let me try and clarify Ed's question a bit, since it was in our game that this
occurred.

An enemy heavy cavalry unit has, as its nearest frontal opponent, a unit of LI
(say, 80p away). Behind the LI is a unit of LMI, which is within 160p of the
enemy heavy cavalry. If the heavy cavalry charges, and the LI evades, do the
LMI then waver test for being charged by mounted in the open?

Yes, most certainly.
