the easiest way to do something like this is to generate
an example viz with all the selections and representations
that you want and then use the "Save State" option to generate
a "template" script.
this script is just regular VMD/tcl script and you can edit
it any which way you like. just look up the respective commands
in the user's guide and figure out, how you need to modify them
to generate the viz that you want.

cheers,
