Assuming I understand your question:
This sort of thing is done all the time: if there is not a bond-path
connecting the four atoms, then it is generally called a
"pseudo-dihedral", but cpptraj doesn't care.
[Of course, this doesn't mean that your particular choice of atoms will
give you the information you want--devil is in the details.]
