g_angle does not read anything from a topology; in fact, none is even passed to 
the program.  The OP needs to quantitatively define the observations.  The index 
groups should all (presumably) produce different results, but the claim that the 
correct angle isn't even being measured doesn't even make much sense.  Programs 
only do what you tell them.
