[gmx-users] Error message

Hi,

A molecule itp does not stand in isolation.

>From that link "If the directive in question is atomtypes (which is the
most common source of this error) or any other bonded or nonbonded [*types]
directive, typically the user is adding some non-standard species (ligand,
solvent, etc) that introduces new atom types or parameters into the system.
As indicated above, these new types and parameters must appear before any
[moleculetype] directive. The force field has to be fully constructed
before any molecules can be defined."

Probably you're including that .itp after some other [moleculetype].
Declare all the atom types before any moleculetypes, like chapter 5 of the
reference manual documents.
