Identifier scoping in MIBs

OK, I'm a little slow today.  Sorry for harrassing the list.

What is the scope of identifers in MIBs.  If I do:

pppTable OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      SEQUENCE OF PppEntry
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
            "A list of interface entries."
    ::= { myTables 1 }

pppEntry OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      PppEntry
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
            "An entry containing management information applicable to a
            particular interface."
    INDEX   { ifIndex }
    ::= { pppTable 1 }

PppEntry ::=
    SEQUENCE {
        ifIndex                 InterfaceIndex
    }

Why does http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/bin/smitools.cgi complain:

mibs/SOMEMIB.txt:243: [5] {identifier-external-redefined} warning:
redefinition of identifier `IF-MIB::ifIndex'
/usr/local/share/mibs/ietf/IF-MIB:185: [6] {previous-definition} info:
previous definition of `ifIndex'


I don't want to redefine the IF-MIB ifEntry, I want my own.
