[...]

The OID value of testObjectIdentity is already defined by the OBJECT-IDENTITY construct. The "(1)" in "{ testObjectIdentity(1) 1 }" does not make sense.

What meaning would you expect? A redundant repitition of the fact that the last sub-oid of testObjectIdentity is "1"? Or a redefinition of testObjectIdentity to the one-digit OID value "1" and the defintion of test-var9 to "1.1"?

Your change to "{ testObjectIdentity 1 }" is (syntactically) correct and defines the value of test-var9 to "testObjectIdentity.1" == "cMIB.1.1".
