[gmx-users] Strong position restrain

Postion restraints for a given topology must appear in the same section as
the current molecule's toplogy before the next new [molecule_type].

So you need to #include position_restraints.itp after the topol.itp.:

 #include "topol_Protein_A.itp"
 #ifdef POSRE
 #include "strong_posre.itp"
 #endif
 #include "topol_Protein_B.itp"
 #ifdef POSRE
 #include "strong_posre.itp"
 #endif
