You can split configuration for different variables in multiple files, and
load them using "cv configfile" or even put them as strings (between double
quotes) in the NAMD main script and load them through "cv config".
Keep in mind that if you put restraints that affect the ion conduction
pathway, you have to question yourself whether you are changing the
resulting PMF, which has to assume a minimum free energy pathway.
