Well, assuming the posre.itp corresponds to the molecule in "boc.itp," then yes,
you are correct. Position restraint files must be #included under the
corresponding molecule type definition, so including it after spc.itp would mean
it is being applied to water, not your molecule.
Are you sure you want to be using ffgmx? It has long been considered
deprecated. The Gromos96 force fields are more recent...
