Stupid Question I really should know about routing

I really should know this, but, here it goes:

I have a firewall @ 192.168.0.2 directly connected to a switch @ 192.168.0.254. Switch has a default route to another switch @ 192.168.0.1

I want to make the next hop on 192.168.0.2 firewall the far switch @ 192.168.0.1, NOT the directly connected switch @ 192.168.0.254.

Any issue with that? Should be ok I think since the directly connected switch has a default route to 192.168.0.1 right?
