I'm not aware of WCCP, but I'll look into it.
In short, the Web Cache Communications Protocol, "... specifies
interactions between one or more routers (or Layer 3 switches) and one
or more web-caches ...".

WCCP can be pressed into service between an in-path device (usually L3)
and a cache. As such, I would hope ~> expect that the pseudo L3
firewall can do it's work while using WCCP to allow a backend proxy do
the actual caching, et la.
FYI, WCCP is one way of routing client traffic to Squid where that Squid
is doing interception.
The Squid wiki has a whole section on how to setup both router/switch
and Squid ends of the WCCP.
