I don't understand what you're getting at here --- what do you read the XML
with, if not a parser?

You can declare an external entity in the DTD:
<!ENTITY child1Data SYSTEM "path/to/child1.xml">
and then use it in the XML:
<father><child1>&child1;</child1></father>
But that requires a parser to expand the entity.
