Modelsim AE launched from Quartus reports syntax error

In the Quartus project I have a .v file declaring a set of parameters that are used in different modules.

When I launch Modelsim AE from Quartus, the compilation fails because of the error "Global declaration is illegal in Verilog 2001".

Without global declaration I have to declare the same parameter repeatedly in every .v file, which is very inefficient.

Is there anyway to workaround this problem?
