cyclocross bike...cable routing question

Hi-
I'm building a 'cross bike w/an old european frame and I've run into a little confusion. the bosses on the toptube will allow housing from only one direction. In other words the front is "open" on the boss near the headtube to allow housing coming from the brake lever to attach. the back of this boss is "closed" so only bare cable can come back out. The reverse is true on the boss by the seatpost. (allows housing going to the brake (cable hanger) but only bare cable coming in from the front boss.
Am I supposed to just run bare cable along the top tupe between the bosses?
Hope this isn't too confusing and that someone with some experience and skills out there can help me out! thanks very much.
