Oof, I love starting scenes in media res and then backtracking, but you can't do that to open every scene.

I believe most, if not all, chapters of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon start in media res and then backtrack? I might be forgetting a couple but it's a recurrent structure throughout the book, and then it's an even higher degree of difficulty because there's two different narratives in different time periods.

So it can be done, but it's very tricky.
