It is not a matter of using a specific keyword. It is a matter of 
understanding what you are doing.
If you specify INTERMOLECULAR the topology will still be built: you may 
not get that error but the problem is still there.

I see in your coord section you specify  a molname for only few atoms: 
why? and why not for all?
do you wish to have a connectivity built or not?
do you want to specify a restraint for intermolecular or intramolecular ?
in short words: what do you want to do?
