Please start a new thread if you're going to introduce a new topic. I have
changed the subject to something more relevant.

question is, if your topology has this, does it affect the calculations (angle
energy or other)?*
Yes, it does. For impropers, the order matters. In the two examples, you are
specifying different properties. With "1 2 3 4," you are saying that atom 1 is
planar and atoms 2, 3, and 4 are the atoms around it that govern its planarity.
With "4 3 2 1," you are saying atom 4 is the planar center, with atoms 1, 2,
and 3 similarly governing its planarity.
