Comment:

 {{{have_posts()}}} doesn't know about {{{$mytest}}}.  {{{have_posts()}}}
 is for checking the main {{{$wp_query}}} WP_Query object.

 Try this:

 {{{
 <?php
 require('wp-blog-header.php');
 $myid=10; //put a post id here that you know is valid
 $wp_query = new WP_Query( array('p' => $myid ) );
 while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); the_title(); }
 ?>
 }}}

 If you don't want to disturb the main query, do this:

 {{{
 <?php
 require('wp-blog-header.php');
 $myid=10; //put a post id here that you know is valid
 $my_query = new WP_Query( array('p' => $myid ) );
 var_dump(have_posts());
 while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) { $my_query->the_post(); the_title(); }
 ?>
 }}}
