This is not an issue. Anything could appear after the , like in @footnote ?

Alternately, the definitions could be provided in table like environnements:

    The @definitionterm{Glossary, Public Good} is used in that case.

    @definition Glossary
    @item Public Good
    A public good, is somthing defined by.....
    @end definition

    blah blah ... could provide a @definitionterm{Glossary, Public Good} as 
    explained in ...

    @node Glossay
    @appendix Glossary

    @listofdefinitions Glossary

The definition wouldn't be written when 
@definition Glossary
@item Public Good
...
appears but when @listofdefinitions Glossary appears, and the 
@definitionterm{Glossary, Public Good} would refer to the entry appearing in 
@listofdefinitions Glossary. The equivalent code, without special macro could 
be something like:

    The Public Good (@xref{Glossary: Public Good}) is used in that case.

    blah blah ... could provide a Public Good (@xref{Glossary: Public Good}) as 
    explained in ...

    @node Glossary
    @appendix Glossary

    @table @asis
    @item Public Good @anchor{Glossary: Public Good}
    A public good, is somthing defined by.....
    @end table
