You're doing it wrong. The parentheses have to be quoted, and separate.
[ "(" "$1" = yes" -o "$1" = YES" ")" -a ... ]
I'd strongly recommend that you DON'T do this, for two reasons:
1) It's not compatible with the POSIX [ command.
2) Bash offers the [[ command instead, which is a lot more powerful.
With [[ you can do it this way:
[[ ( $1 = yes || $1 = YES ) && ... ]]
