That is my interpretation of AIM Sections 5-4-7 and 5-4-8. I would appreciate input to rectify any incorrect assumptions. Would you believe that your question is one that I have been wrestling with over the past year?

Some further explanation . . .
If the VOR is the IAF/FAF and we make a direct entry and proceed immediately past the station, we might never have been established on the inbound course. Also, we have very little time to transition from the enroute environment to the approach. Hence, my recommendation for one circuit after the direct entry.
