I'm not sure I follow this.  From what you show below, both molecules introduce 
new [atomtypes] and [pairtypes], which are essentially extensions of 
ffnonbonded.itp.  The problem you have is that each topology attempts to behave 
as a standalone topology, which it is not.  You will have to manually edit the 
topologies, either by:

1. Creating a single file, e.g. "more_parameters.itp" that contains the 
necessary [atomtypes] and [pairtypes] that you #include immediately after the 
#include "charmm27.ff/forcefield.itp" statement.  Remove those directives from 
GTP.itp and GDP.itp.
2. Remove the directives from one of the ligand .itp files, and just #include 
the other one first, again immediately after #include 
"charmm27.ff/forcefield.itp."  That way, the first .itp file contains force 
field-level directives, after which everything else is at the molecule level, 
within the first #included topology and all the remaining ones.

These settings all look reasonable, though please be aware we have discovered a 
problem that I believe may be important: http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/1413. 
  Without a resolution to issue 1413, I cannot necessarily guarantee that 
Gromacs and CHARMM treat the cutoffs the same way.  We are looking into this.
