why don't you just use WRT54gs (WAP/Routers) instead of just wap's, routers,
and switches? (cheaper, and wap and router are in the same box, you can even
get em cheap at walmart)
you can daisy chain as many wrt's together as you want (supposedly, i've
only done 5, but can't see why you can't do more)
and you wouldn't need to run another cable

do you have any specific reason you want to use seperate wap's and routers?
