This would be a neat feature, but I don't believe Gazebo/ROS have the capability (as of yet) to ad-hoc model descriptions to each other. Possible reason is that even if you match the <link> and <joint> name spaces across the two model files, there is no plug-in that treats them as parent-child.

I would be curious if such a custom plugin can be written for Gazebo?
