I guess this is because it is not very appropiate to put several definition paragraphs together, you can check mathematical books in which after a definition follows a standard paragraph, a remark, a proposition or whatever except another definition. Moreover if you want to define several items you can use inside the definition paragrah an enumerate environment (see the attached file below) Another possibility coul be to play with the Definition Style or more precisely with the Theorem Style in amsmaths.inc. I didn't find a way to avoid this behavior modifying some of the tags in the style definition but perhaps another person in the list could help you in this way. >The only way I have gotten two of them is to put > a standard paragraph in between, but I have no content for it, so I put > the name of the thing being defined in the definition paragraph and its > actual definition in subsequent stardard paragraphs.
