[gmx-users] Invalid order for directive X

Dear gromacs users,

I have a protein with two bound ligands, GNP and ACT.

For the protein I have prepared topology with amber ff96. pdb2gmx
created three itp files for the two protein chains and one for CA and
MG ions.


 Fore GNP and ACY I have generated itp files perfectly using acpype
.When I have run gompp program for neutralisation step, I had this
folowing error:

*Syntax error - File ACT.itp, line 3*

*Last line read:*

*'[ atomtypes ]'*

*Invalid order for directive atomtypes It contains an [ atomtypes ]
section defining the GAFF atom types.*



This was my complex topology file:


; Include forcefield parameters
#include "amber99sb.ff/forcefield.itp"

#include "ACT.itp"

#include "GNP.itp"

; Include chain topologies
#include "topolo_Protein_chain_A.itp"
#include "topolo_Protein_chain_B.itp"
#include "topolo_Ion_chain_A2.itp"


; Include water topology
#include "amber99sb.ff/tip3p.itp"

Is it a mistake in the directives order in .itp and .top?
Can someone give me a suggestion to fix the issue
Thank you
