Just to add to what Volume is saying, the point is made by Boeing in the Checklist instructions..e.g. how to use the checklists.
Non–Normal Checklist Operation
Non–normal checklists start with steps to correct the situation. If needed, information for planning the rest of the flight is included. In the printed non-normal checklists, when special items are needed to configure the airplane for landing, the items are included in the Deferred Items section of the checklist. In the electronic checklists, deferred items are automatically added to the end of the applicable normal checklist. Flight patterns for some engine out situations are located in the Maneuvers chapter and show the sequence of configuration changes.
While every attempt is made to supply needed non–normal checklists, it is not possible to develop checklists for all conceivable situations. In some smoke, fire, or fumes situations, the flight crew may need to move between the Smoke, Fire or Fumes checklist and the Smoke or Fumes Removal checklist. In some multiple failure situations, the flight crew may need to combine the elements of more than one checklist. In all situations, the captain must assess the situation and use good judgment to determine the safest course of action.
So in summary, do what you need to do as even Boeing are happy to go into print to say that all things are not black or white.
