A Trick Shakes a target, does that Shaken count for wounds?

Morning,
I have a player who does a trick against a bad guy.
He succeeds with a raise and cause the baddy to be Shaken.

Either that same round, or later on the baddy is damaged with a normal success. Does the baddy take a wound?

I have seen the answer "yes" a few times, but the SW:D states
(page 68 under Applying Damage: Success):
"...To cause a wound, the later Shaken result must come from a physical attack of some kind- not a test of wills or other maneuver"

According to that statement, the Shaken result taken from a trick (or test of wills for that matter) does not count to further Wounds.

So I am confused:

If he is still Shaken, yes.

Check that sentence again, noting the bolded and underlined part...

"...To cause a wound, the later Shaken result must come from a physical attack of some kind- not a test of wills or other maneuver"

The later Shaken result has to come from damage, but the earlier Shaken the target already has can come from anything, including a Test of Wills, Trick, Fear, whatever.
