We extend Lin's method for use in the setting of parameter-dependent nonlinear functional differential equations of mixed type (MFDEs). We show that the presence of $M$-homoclinic and $M$-periodic solutions that bifurcate from a prescribed homoclinic connection can be detected by studying a finite dimensional bifurcation equation. As an application, we describe the codimension two orbit-flip bifurcation in the setting of MFDEs.
