what you want to research is point to multi-point.

I have done this very thing. You will need to have a cross-over cable between your non-root bridge and the access point. I have two locations where I have things working this way and it works fine. I've added a picture in .gif format so you can see how I hooked it up and the IP addressing I used.
Good luck getting it going.

I must also add that I had the access point plugged into a wall socket as the non-root bridge will obviously not supply Power over Ethernet. I thought I should mention that.

Take a look at my suggested config below. The first accesspoint will broadcast a SSID for clients and use a different SSID for the bridge. This setup has no 802.1x mechanism yet, but you can add that later. For the topology see PtoPLinkExample.gif posted earlier.
----- Accesspoint 1 --------------
dot11 ssid bridge
authentication open
!
dot11 ssid WiFiNet
authentication open
guest-mode
!
interface Dot11Radio0
ssid bridge
!
ssid WiFiNet
!
----- Accesspoint 2 --------------
dot11 ssid bridge
authentication open
!
interface Dot11Radio0
parent 1
!
ssid bridge
!
station-role workgroup-bridge
----- Accesspoint 3 --------------
dot11 ssid WiFiNet
authentication open
guest-mode
!
interface Dot11Radio0
ssid WiFiNet
!
