Can you define what you mean by 'behind' exactly?

• Actions
  • Set MaxDistance = Whatever
  • Set SourcePosition = (Position of SourceUnit)
  • Set TargetPosition = (Position of TargetUnit)
  • Set TargetGroup = (Units within MaxDistance of TargetPosition)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TargetGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set SpillTarget = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • YourTargetRequirements Equal to True
          • (Angle from TargetPosition to SpillTarget) Greater than or equal to ((Angle from SourcePosition to TargetPosition) - 15.00)
          • (Angle from TargetPosition to SpillTarget) Less than or equal to ((Angle from SourcePosition to TargetPosition) + 15.00)
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Do whatever to Picked Unit
        • Else - Actions

Remember to implement an if/then/else condition to check if the calculated angle is less than 0 or greater than 360.

Here is an alternative

• Untitled Trigger 008
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set u1 = Paladin 0003 <gen>
    • Set r1 = (Facing of u1)
    • Set p1 = (Position of u1)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of p1) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set u2 = (Picked unit)
        • Set p2 = (Position of u2)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (u2 is alive) Equal to True
            • (Cos(((Angle from p1 to p2) - r1))) Less than 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of u2 using Abilities\Weapons\AncientProtectorMissile\AncientProtectorMissile.mdl
            • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p1)
