There is an order in which directives are allowed to appear.  Refer to Chapter 5 
of the manual.  All directives at the force field level ([defaults], 
[atomtypes], etc) must come before any [moleculetype] can be declared.  If 
you're moving around #include statements, you're probably breaking the required 
order.
