MIB design question

Hope it's ok to ask a MIB design question here, I couldn't find any more
suitable list for this... 

If not, just link me to the correct place!



In my MIB, I have a couple of tables:

$ smidump -f tree ./BAYOUR-COM-MIB.txt
[....]
     +--zfsPoolStatusTable(5)
     |  |
     |  +--zfsPoolStatusEntry(1) [zfsPoolStatusIndex]
     |     |
     |     +-- --- CounterIndex       zfsPoolStatusIndex(1)
     |     +-- r-n DisplayString      zfsPoolName(2)
     |     +-- r-n Integer32          zfsPoolSize(3)
     |     +-- r-n Integer32          zfsPoolAlloc(4)
     |     +-- r-n Integer32          zfsPoolFree(5)
     |     +-- r-n Integer32          zfsPoolCap(6)
     |     +-- r-n DisplayString      zfsPoolDedup(7)
     |     +-- r-n ZFSPoolStatusValue zfsPoolHealth(8)
     |     +-- r-n DisplayString      zfsPoolAltRoot(9)
     |     +-- r-n Integer32          zfsPoolUsedBySnaps(10)
     |     +-- r-n Integer32          zfsPoolUsed(11)
     [....]
     +--zfsVFSIOPSTable(8)
     |  |
     |  +--zfsVFSIOPSEntry(1) [zfsVFSIOPSIndex]
     |     |
     |     +-- --- CounterIndex  zfsVFSIOPSIndex(1)
     |     +-- r-n DisplayString zfsPoolNameVFSIOPS(2)
     |     +-- r-n Counter32     zfsOperReads(3)
     |     +-- r-n Counter32     zfsOperWrites(4)

Now, I'd like to "reuse" 'zfsPoolName' in 'zfsVFSIOPSTable', but if I just
add that there:

          ZFSVFSIOPSEntry             ::= SEQUENCE {
            zfsVFSIOPSIndex           CounterIndex,

            zfsPoolName               DisplayString,
            zfsOperReads              Counter32,
            zfsOperWrites             Counter32
          }

I get:

	BAYOUR-COM-MIB.txt:2213: SEQUENCE element #2 `zfsPoolName' is not a child node under `zfsVFSIOPSEntry'
	BAYOUR-COM-MIB.txt:2213: warning: SEQUENCE element #3 `zfsOperReads' does not match order of columnar objects under `zfsVFSIOPSEntry'

Which is why I had to name it something really ugly like 'zfsPoolNameVFSIOPS' (this
is not the only place I want/need to reuse it in)...

The error in itself is quite obvious, don't get me wrong! But how can I include
a defined ... 'node' from/in another 'parent'?


The (second) most obvious (I thought) would be to use

	zfsPoolStatusTable::zfsPoolStatusEntry::zfsPoolName

but that obviously didn't work....


The full MIB file can be found at

if someone needs/want to look at it.



PS. I've tried a couple of google queries, but I don't even know what to
    search for, so no luck there :)
