You are right.

OK, the reason of adding FOR is what I explained a few minutes ago.
All over, I'm supposed to use a modern FF . ( In similar researches I found 
CHARMM is suitable, so I would add FOR as the procedure explained in 
GROMACS.ORG)


This sounds like a good idea.

For now, because I wanna regenerate an old simulation, I keep the FOR, then 
here it's stopped! Seeking for a solution!


There is one possible solution that I just thought of. Rather than using FOR as its own residue, create a formylated valine, thus eliminating the problem with the call to CA of the preceding residue.

The .rtp entry:

[ FVAL ]
 [ atoms ]
    CN   CH1   0.380     0
    ON     O  -0.380     0
     N     N  -0.280     1
     H     H   0.280     1
    CA   CH1   0.000     2
    CB   CH1   0.000     3
   CG1   CH3   0.000     4
   CG2   CH3   0.000     5
     C     C   0.380     6
     O     O  -0.380     6
 [ bonds ]
    CN    ON
    CN     N
     N     H
     N    CA
    CA     C
     C     O
    CA    CB
    CB   CG1
    CB   CG2
 [ impropers ]
     N    CN    CA     H
    CN   -CA     N    ON
    CA     N     C    CB
    CB   CG2   CG1    CA

The .hdb entry:

FVAL    1
1   1   H   N   CN  CA

Then add FVAL to residuetypes.dat as a protein residue. Processing the .pdb file you posted before (merging FOR and VAL into FVAL and adjusting names according to the .rtp entry above) works correctly.

Disclaimer: this method "works" (i.e. produces a topology) but I do not necessarily endorse the use of the parameters shown.
