This is a tough one to explain, and I don't have time to provide an
example, but I think you're misunderstanding the point of the mask. It allows
you to skip one or more identifiers in an OID specification. The typical use
case is for tables - access can be allowed to some of the conceptual columns by
setting the mask bit to 0 for the index. This does not, of course, work for
string valued indices, which may explain why some MIBs may be indexed by an
arbitrary integer when there is one or more string values that uniquely
identify the conceptual row.
