Summonings can be used in death battle, but only summons that are in the fighter's control, I think all of the Summon Materia have a mind of their own and fight on their own will, Link's Bottled up Fairies technically can ignore Link when he loses all of his hearts.

Here's an example where  Summoning is allowed, Look at the fight between Ryu Hayabusa vs Strider Hiryu, Strider was allowed to summon all of his Robotic Animals Because He was in complete control of them, there go it was his influence that would have won the fight in the end if the Robotic animals gave the killing blow.

Peach vs Zelda is another example, The Controversial ending to their fight was when Peach's Sheep fell from the sky and hit Zelda in the head, knocking her out called and open for an attack. Everyone called B.S because no outside help, but the Sheep in Mario RPG has never had a mind of it's self, Peach always summons them and make them fall from the sky, leaving Peach Responsible of the Sheeps action since she summons them and throws them at her opponents.

and Lastly, The Tigerzord summoning the other Zords to aid him in his fight, they never actually fought The Gundam Epyon but fused with the Tigerzord.

If in a death battle has someone summon something for help, they must be in complete control of it or it's against the rules and then the fight can't be measured fairly.
