I define view without specifying inherit_id, in my module, like this, without problems?!

        <record id="view_partner_form_TEST" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">res.partner.form.TEST</field>
            <field name="model">res.partner</field>            
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
               <form string="TEST">
                  <field name="ref"/>
               </form>  
            </field>
        </record>
