The PDB card MODEL usually separates alternate conformations for the *same*
molecule(s). TER cards are used to separate molecules. It's not clear how
you constructed your pdb file.
Amber doesn't care much about the input atom numbers or residue numbers,
so you are probably fine. Don't be afraid to experiment! Loading your
PDB file into LEaP will give you an answer far faster and better than
sending email to the list.
