Yes.
A view can be made up of several components.
The snmpd.conf file shipped by RedHat includes:

  view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
  view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1
 
which allows access to 'system' and 'hrSystem' (but nothing else)

When you want to allow access to *most* of a subtree, but not all.
For example:

  view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
  view    systemview    excluded   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9

would allow access to the scalar objects in the system group,
but not sysORTable.

No.  This field is not currently used.  You can ignore it.
