Indeed I have the pair definition in my topol_?.itp files.
But, if the 1,4 interactions are removed in this way,
why do I see a LJ-14 energy term in the md.log
file as well as the g_energy program. Shouldn't this
contribution be zero if I exclude the 1,4 interactions
with the RB potential?

And why do I need a [pairtypes] entry for my CH2 
atom type in the ffgmxnb.itp file to run grompp successfully?
I guessed that this is not needed if 1,4 interactions are 
excluded.

Thanks,
Gitta
