However, I did include the appropriate .itp files in my .top file (shown below).  As you can see, obviously CR1 is specified in taxol.itp and gtp.itp.  Therefore, I'm not sure what exactly is the problem here.

You're mixing and matching force fields.  PRODRG produces Gromos-compatible 
parameters (and does a poor job of that - I can tell you now that the charges 
assigned to the aromatic C and H of taxol are total junk).  You're then trying 
to combine these parameters with OPLS.  Even if you could somehow hack the 
topology together, the results would be useless.

For more about the hazards of PRODRG, see 
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ci100335w.

The solution is to pick a force field and apply it uniformly to the system 
you're working with.
