This can be confusing. If you set nrexcl in your topology to 3 (default 
in pdb2gmx generated topologies) this is correct. In addition you have 
dihedral terms for 1-4 interactions of course. If you set nrexcl 
differently the effect will be different, and if you choose to list 1-3 
interactions under the pairs section they will be computed.

For everything in the exclusion list, independent of pairs. I'm not sure 
whether the Rf-excl correction takes fudgeQQ into account.

Yes.
