Emad its not a must here's CISCO has to say.....

Use this command on Frame Relay, Switched Multimegabit Data Service
(SMDS), or ATM only, especially when these media do not have native
multicast available. Do not use this command on multicast-capable LANs
such as Ethernet or FDDI.

When this command is configured, each Protocol Independent Multicast
(PIM) Join message is kept track of in the outgoing interface list of a
multicast routing table entry. Therefore, only PIM WAN neighbors that
have joined for the group will get packets sent as data link unicasts.
This command should only be used when the ip pim sparse-mode command is
configured on the interface. This command is not recommended for LANs
that have natural multicast capabilities.

Examples

The following example configures an interface to be in nonbroadcast
multiaccess mode:

When you configure PIM dense-mode, or pim sparse-mode or pim
sparse-dense-mode. you're basically telling that router to listen and
participate in multicasting either by listening to a join by a client,
an
announcement of multicast group from a streamer or another multicast
router
in case of the sparse mode. The igmp join-group is a configuration to
ensure that that interface is always passing multicast traffic. What
are
you looking for when you ask what other combo is needed with pim
configurations?

any specific command that should be combined with IP PIM dense or

mode to work under Multipoint interface ,( of course beside IGM
join-group
command)
