Your don't HAVE to.   You could do it, however, as I suggested previously
by connecting a cable
between the WAN port of one of the N router  and a LAN port of the  G
router.   This would, of course,
result in double NATing.   Even better you could just connect two of the
LAN ports togther (either with
a crossover cable or if auto-MIDX is supported on either router that might
work as well.   Turn off the
DHCP server on the N router and you have effectively turned your N router
into a wired/wireless bridge.
All devices will get an IP from the G router and Ethernet packets should
flow appropriately.

You create a wireless bridge between the two access points

I assume this if for the G to to "camp" router connection.  For the G to N
router connection, I would go wired
if at all possible.  No reason to waste wireless bandwidth if wired is
available.
