I don't understand your question.  If you create the two .itp files, you do 
exactly as is shown below - that's your topol.top.  Then include any other 
necessary molecule types you may need (water, ions, etc.)

Perhaps you should try running through some simple tutorials (typically 
involving proteins) to understand the topology #include mechanism and overall 
construction.  There are several linked from the wiki.
