In old versions, it is necessary to have such restraints within the same
moleculetype (not atomype, of course). This was because the system is built
from x copies of each moleculetype.

and also something related to the use of "pull_ngroups = 2". But it is not

GROMACS 5.1 introduces an [intermolecular_interactions] that precisely
addresses this issue without needing changes to [moleculetypes] or the use
of the pull code. Please see the documentaioin for details. :-)

Any help would be appreciated.
