You can only ever have one .top, in which .itp files can be #included.  If all 
you've done is simply change the file extensions, you have not made proper .itp 
files; you must change their contents to follow the required format that is 
specified in Chapter 5.  Also see:

Without seeing specific error messages, there is no more help anyone can offer.
