No, they are separate script executions. What I'd like to do is use a
standard within our network that index 60 is always queue-length, and
index 70 is always RADIUS query counters, or whatever, to make life
easier for the monitoring system. Servers that don't perform that
function will simply not answer to that particular index.

Maybe we are talking at cross-purposes. I'd like to change the table
index for a given 'extend' line in the config, not for the order within
that table entry. It would be equivalent to the VLAN-related interfaces
always starting at index 8000 in my switch's MIB-2 ifTable, regardless
of what is going on in lower index ranges, for example.
