I think this paragraph in 2.8 covers it:

  The markup declarations may be made up in whole or in part of the
  replacement text of parameter entities. The productions later in
  this specification for individual nonterminals (elementdecl,
  AttlistDecl, and so on) describe the declarations after all the
  parameter entities have been included.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
