I could be wrong, but all my DSAs and DSEs always work if I keep to the
"upside down tree" rule. A tree must have a root (in the air) and
branches pointing downwards. A leaf has to belong to a twig has to
belong to a branch has to belong to a trunk has to belong to a root.

It's the same with DNS.

Above you have the root, a trunk and a branch.

Here you have a branch, lopped off. How is ldapadd/slapadd supposed to
know what trunk it belongs to? Why shouldn't it belong to
dc=myorg,dc=org, for example?

Here you have a twig on the same branch. Same as above.Why shouldn't it
belong to dc=myorg,dc=org?

Etc.

Best,
