Nevermind. I read at <http://wireless-starter-kit.com/80211g_update.html>
that the bridging is in the master/slave model:
Although the AirPort Extreme Base Station bridging works with up to
four units at once, you cannot daisy chain the AirPort Extreme Base
Stations in bridging mode; all the bridged units must each connect
back to the master unit. In more extensive installations, you could
run Ethernet among several master AirPort Extreme Base Stations and
still use bridging on the edges of the network.
