That appears to be using the same OID for two different objects.
This is a Very Bad Idea.
The whole point of an OID is that it a way of *uniquely* referring
to a particular management object. Re-using OIDs in this way
is not good practise. Don't do it!

No.
Each node has one object identifier.
Each object identifier should refer to one node.
That's the whole point of having an "identifier" - to identify something.

You've just changed the OID for "xyz".
OID to name mappings should be fixed.
Select them so that they form an unambiguous mapping,
and then don't change them.

(I presume you mean "not" rather than "now"!)
No - it won't work. That is not valid syntax.
You need to define two distinct objects - abcNoOfMessages and xyzNoOfMessages
(The alternative would be to use a table)
