It is always better to have things in order .. but it is
not required. I would advice to put lipid/solvent/gold
together for analysis purpose.
The only thing you have you have to make sure is that
the order of the molecules are the same in the gro file
and in topol.top: that is what the error message is about 
!

position restrains give more fredom to the system to
minimize. If you don't have specific reason to fix atoms
let them free ...
