NON-ROOT TO NON-ROOT ASSOCIATION??

Question

Hi,
I have one AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9, and two AIR-AP1242AG-N-K9. I have already configure them to work as bridge.
Root Bridge with  wireless-clients  ----------->     1   AIR-AP1242AG-N-K9
Non-Root Bridge1 with  wireless-clients  --->      1   AIR-AP1242AG-N-K9
Non-Root Bridge2 with  wireless-clients ---->      1   AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9
I notice after reseting the root bridge or one of the non-root bridges that  when I type the command "sh DOt11 associations"  the results shows that there is an associatiation between the 2 Non-Root bridge. When this happend the connection of the clients associated to this APs is very unstable.
as far as I know the association is just between Root and Non-Root bridges.
I don´t know why this happend.
In order to avoid this I disable in one of the non-root bridge (AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9) the option "Force Infrastructure Device to associate only...."
Cisco's Docs show an example of config when there is one root bridge and one non-root bridge but in my scenario I have 2 non-root bridge and one root bridge.
I would like to know if the config for my scenario must be  different from the simple scenario (1 root and 1 non-root).
I hope any of you can help me.
Regards

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your recommendations.
The mac-address authentication option you recommend is the option shown as "Root Parent MAC 1" ,"Root Parent MAC 2 ....." on Setting---> Network interface???
For root bridge , I should write down the MAC addres of the non-root bridge1  on Root Parent MAC 1 field and  on the field of Root Parent MAC 2, the  MAC of  the non-root bridge2 ?? ,  am I right?
and for the non-root bridges I should just set on Root Parent MAC 1 just the MAC address of the root bridge???
