[gmx-users] Solvating Podophyllotoxin in ethanol

Dear Gromacs users,
I've been trying to solvate  Podophyllotoxin in ethanol. I used chimera and acpype to create PPT and I got the .itp and .pdb files.
For ethanol I used http://virtualchemistry.org/molecules/64-17-5/index.php .top and GAFF liquid structure .pdb file.
Since some atomtypes match between PTOX.itp and ETA.itp, I changed atomtypes in PTOX to uppercase and when I try Energy Minimization, I get:


WARNING 1 [file PTOX.itp, line 6]:
  Overriding atomtype OS


WARNING 2 [file PTOX.itp, line 7]:
  Overriding atomtype CA


WARNING 3 [file PTOX.itp, line 8]:
  Overriding atomtype C


WARNING 4 [file PTOX.itp, line 9]:
  Overriding atomtype O


WARNING 5 [file PTOX.itp, line 10]:
  Overriding atomtype OH


WARNING 6 [file PTOX.itp, line 11]:
  Overriding atomtype H1


WARNING 7 [file PTOX.itp, line 12]:
  Overriding atomtype HA


WARNING 8 [file PTOX.itp, line 13]:
  Overriding atomtype HC


WARNING 9 [file PTOX.itp, line 14]:
  Overriding atomtype HO


WARNING 10 [file PTOX.itp, line 15]:
  Overriding atomtype H2

Fatal error:

Invalid order for directive atomtypes

This is the order in my topology file:


; Include forcefield parameters
#include "amber99sb.ff/forcefield.itp"



;Include PTOX topology
#include "PTOX.itp"


; Include ethanol topology
#include "ETA.itp"

Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
