The same applies when a BG breaks from shooting or being charged while fragmented or breaking when fighting in two directions. You rout directly away from enemy, splitting the angle if there is more than one enemy BG involved in the action which resulted in the break.

So............

If you are in melle to the front, and get charged from the side causing a rout; you must rout directly away from the flanker across the front of the melee unit?

No, if you are in melee and rout as a result of a flank charge (either because you were fragmented and failed a CT or broke at impact) you split the angle.

See P100 - Initial rout

"it routs directly away from the enemy charging, shooting at or in close combat with it. If there is more than one such enemy, bisect the angle between them"
