Yes, BGK and Arowanas can be kept in the same tank without problem, until the Arowana out grows the BGK (which it will). But even then if you have raised your Aro on Food Sticks he should accept the Knives as tank mates without aggression. And needless to say keep the Aro well fed or he will eat what he can catch and swallow.
Make sure you have a Knife tube in your tank so they aren't out being a temptation all the time.
But I think your general quetion has to do with just outright compatability, doesn't it? If that is the case, then you have nothing to worry about. They aren't going to fight with each other.

another thing abouth clown knifes is that if you need to have a big tank because as they get bigger they become territorial and start cornering up all the other fishes by eather bighting them or shoving them aside with their body
I had a 18" CK and a 26" silver in a 300g the knife started picking on aro and aro didn't eat for a month I eventually sold knife
