I am not sure, if XIncludes are resolved correctly inside a XSLT
stylesheet. Even if they are resolved it can not work as your entity
definitions are not well-formed XML.

Use the following steps:
1. Modify your stylesheet and insert the following DOCTYPE declaration:
-----------[ customization.xsl ]-------------------
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet
[
<!-- Point to the correct path: -->
<!ENTITY % ents SYSTEM "definitions.ent">
%ents;
]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<!-- Insert your templates here -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
---------------------------------------------------
2. Write a file "myentities.ent" with the following content (you did that
already):
---------------------[ definitions.ent ]------------
<!ENTITY j_copyright "This work is copyright of...">
---------------------------------------------------
Insert only text inside the j_copyright entity. Any decent XSLT processor
should be able to resolve your entities.
Hope this helps,
Tom
