On the one hand I'm not adding roles to the ways in PT routes relations anymore, instead I add all the ways in the correct order. Some ways are included twice.
But if you prefer to add them, you have to know forward/backward relates to the direction of the way itself. If it follows the arrow: forward, if it goes against it: backward. If you do it right, JOSM is able to sort your ways automatically. If you're still on the v1 scheme, where there is only one route relations doing a futile attempt to describe all variations, I suggest you switch to the new scheme where a route_master describes the line and route relations describe each variation from beginning to end. This is how we do it in Belgium: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Polyglot/diary/28401 There are some links to Youtube videos included in that article.
