Different force fields work in different ways.  Gromos, for instance, uses 
#define statements to replace listed gb_*, ga_*, etc.

The manual shows a generic example, which may not be the same for all force 
fields.

Per the example in section 5.6.1, only the [bondedtypes] and [atoms] directives 
are mandatory, but in the case of a bonded molecule, I believe [bonds] are as 
well.  The rest of the directives, if not otherwise specified, are constructed 
from the existing information.
