That layout isn't particularly helpful.
It would be better to list the MIB definitions.

No.
That would register something like
       .1.3.6.1.4.1.1.{1,2,3}

(depending on the root OID passed to the registration call)

You want something like:

  {ExampleVERSION, ASN_OCTET_STR, RONLY, var_example, 2, {1, 1} },
  {ExampleDATE, ASN_OCTET_STR, RONLY, var_example, 2, {1, 2} },
  {ExampleFREQUENCY, ASN_INTEGER, RONLY, var_example, 2, {2, 1} }

Please see AGENT.txt for a description of this structure.
