This is not the recommended procedure. Most of the time you are better off
creating a pdb file of the combined system, and using the loadPdb command to
read things into leap. This in effect creates the combined unit.

The bond identifications in the mol2 file are not used in Amber. Other
programs (like visualization programs) might use these to decide how to draw
bonds, but the Amber force field doesn't have the concept of a "bond type"

I'm not sure how this can happen. You can use the desc command in LEaP to
see what bonds are present; or you can use ParmEd to examine the resulting
prmtop file to get access to the same information.

This doesn't mean anything: given a pdb file, vmd draws bonds based on
distances, *not* on whether the force field has a bond. If you load the
prmtop file into vmd first, then it will draw exactly the bonds that are in
the prmtop file (so this path is yet another way to see if you are getting
what you want in the end.

Atom names are pretty arbitrary, but can be at most 4 characters long. So,
you can use names like C1 ... C999, but C1000 will not work.
