	You cannot do this.  Specifically, the SMI rules forbid putting anything but a primitive type in a table.  However, you can have multiple indices:

+--notComplexTable(3)
   |
   +--Entry(1)
      |  Index: i1, i2
      |
      +--struct(2)
         |
         +-- -NA- INTEGER   i1(1)
         +-- -NA- INTEGER   i2(1)
         +-- -RW- String    field1(2)
         +-- -RW- String    field1(3)

	Note that the access of the index is not-accessible, since it is returned as part of the OID anyway.

	It may be helpful to note that MIBs should not be constructed as if they were data structures, but rather as if they were database tables.  It is still possible to represent arbitrary data models, but the techniques one uses are different.


	HTH,

Mike
