Just as long as the two tables are defined in different MIBs.
You can *no*t have the same MIB object name defined
twice within the same MIB.

In  general, it's probably best to try and avoid duplicating names
wherever possible.  (Unless you have good reason to do so).

  The usual convention is to have a common prefix for all the
column objects in a table - so it's immediately clear which
objects belong together.

For example -  if you had two tables (table1 and table2) with essentially
the same columns in each, the MIB object names might be something
like:

   -  t1index
   -  t1name
   -  t1rank
   -  t1serialNo
   -  t2index
   -  t2name
   -  t2rank
   -  t2serialNo

No problems with name clashes, it's clear which table a given column
belongs to, but the meaning of the various columns is still clear.
