Yes, you're breaking the DocBook model. If you click Help > Show Content Model in XMLmind (with a DocBook doc open) and browse the DTD, you'll see that refentry is a child of reference. So if you create a reference in your book instead of a chapter, you should be able to include your referentry's in it.
