Orchestrations have to start with a receive.  They can also be called from another orch, but somewhere down the line a message has to be received to start the process.  That is how the BizTalk engine works.  If an orch could start with an expression shape, then how would BizTalk ever know it is time to fire up an instance of the orch?  There has to be some external event to start the orch.  Usually this is when data becomes available (a file appears in a folder, a new record appears in a database table, etc.)
