No - that's normal practise.
See most standard IETF MIBs for this style of working.

I suspect that the IMPORTS section isn't being terminated properly.
It's impossible to be sure, because we haven't been given the whole
MIB file.   [**Please** give sufficient context for us to work with!!***]

But the IMPORTS clause ought to end with a semicolon.
If you forget this, then the parser keeps ploughing on through
the rest of the MIB file, treating everything it sees as a token
to import from another (unspecified) MIB module.

This problem is covered in the FAQ (entry 9 in the MIBs section)
You _did_ read through the FAQ, before posting to this list, didn't you?
