Hi again,
I have a question about the .itp files. When e.g. TIP4P.itp the atomtypes in
the  [atoms ]are specifies as opls_???, doesn't grompp check the database
for the corresponding parameters? Or we should again manually specify the [
atomtypes ] again in either .itp or .top file?


You need to #include "ffoplsaa.itp" to take care of everything related to the OPLS-AA force field. Invoking grompp is not magic, the topology has to contain specific instructions for everything you need to handle in your system.

OK!
I changed my .top file to
;This is simulation for TIP4P water model
[ defaults ]
; non-bondedtype        combrule        genpairs        FudgeLJ
FudgeQQ         N
1                       2               NO

; include TIP4P topology
#include "tip4p.itp"

[ system ]
Pure box of water

[ molecules ]
SOL               506

But I still get the same error message! Should I include the [defaults] in
the .itp file?

Will #include "ffgmx.itp" solve my problem? Would it be a general solution
or in each case I should specify (if I add other solutes such as
proteins)?

Well, ffgmx is deprecated, so it is probably not the best choice :)
Choosing a force field should not be a haphazard occasion, it is a very important choice. For water models, parameters should be uniform, but if you're simulating a protein, you'll want to make a very educated decision.

You need to #include an appropriate force field that contains the
[defaults], [atomtypes], etc. before you can define a [moleculetype].

I used the same thing with my own model, but it had worked.

Hello,

I am trying to make a box of water from three different water models. I can make one from my own water model, but when I want to test TIP4P and SPCE, as soon as it comes to energy minimization step and using grompp, I get the following error message:

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.4

Source code file: topio.c, line: 415

Fatal error:

Syntax error - File spce.itp, line 1

Last line read:

'[ moleculetype ]'

Invalid order for directive moleculetype

What is the problem causing the code referring to itp file?

See the message I just sent.  Something is out of order in your .top
file.
