It is very common for entities to have different base URI

<!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chapter1/main.xml">
<!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chapter2/main.xml">
...

<doc>
&chap1;
&chap2;
</doc>

being a common idiom (common round here, anyway)

If you require document() to pull in something relative to the source
document then it seems quite likely that in such a case you'll
want to know the URI for the part if the source that you are in.
