You won't need the edging on the back side, I just built one that has 34" shelves, and only edged the front. But I'm not sure I see any problem putting the shelves (adjustable shelves, right?) If the edging goes between the face frame stiles, you will have to tilt it to get the shelf into the cabinet, then lower the back into place first, followed by dropping the front with the edging between the stiles. Or am I not following the question?
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Assuming that the shelves, including their edging, will be behind the face frame.....
Measure the diagonal of the 1.5" edging. If it's greater than 32", you might have a problem.
The solution might be to clip the corners of the edging. They'll be hidden by the face frame anyway, right??

1/4" less on the width will be fine (and may be more clearance than necessary). Make the depth of the shelf 1/8" or so less than the recess to accommodate maneuvering the shelf when putting it in.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
c = 32
b = 1-1/2
Solve for b. That's how long the shelf can be w/o binding. If that's too short then just trim the 1-1/2" stiffener.
