14.1.2 of the draft standard determines that both instances of mytype 
are local entitities to the same scoping unit.  gfortran takes them to 
refer to the same symbol and so finds that the attributes clash.

To add to the list, ifort9.0 sings this song:
fortcom: Error: uttam.f90, line 2: Conflicting attributes or multiple 
declaration of name.   [MYTYPE]
before going on to complain about things that look like bits of derived 
type that are not.

This definitely is not valid code.
