Hi,
  I've corrected that issue in the VMD 1.9.4 source tree. The two includes
at the top of MDFF.C can actually be removed, they are leftovers that
are no longer needed. You can simply delete the includes of both tcl.h
and TclCommands.h at the top of MDFF.C and the build should complete.

Best,
  John Stone
