Wrong :-)

At the end of each subdocument, you put a comment similar to

   <!--
     Local Variables:
     mode: xml
     sgml-parent-document: ("master-file.xml")
     End:
   -->

Substitute the name of your file containing the DOCTYPE for 
"master-file.xml".

The next time you load the subdocument PSGML knows where to find the 
reference to the DTD and everything is great again.

God, I enjoy working with Emacs & PSGML :-)

HTH!
