pdb2gmx doesn't do much of anything with forcefield.itp.  You tell it which 
force field you want to use, then it makes use of lots of files in that 
directory (see the manual for the list).  Most significant is the .rtp file. 
The #include statement for the force field is then simply written to the .top 
based on your selection.
