Me neither. But that's because I use automatic NAT. Only manual NAT need the extras.

The thing to remember here is the order in which checkpoint handles NAT and routing. Routing is handled *before* NAT. THat is why you have to add the ARP and static route entries. The packet is picked up by FW-1 because of the arp entry and it is then routed to the correct interface/gateway. When the packet leaves the firewall, the header is modified to do the actual NAt.
