You certainly don't want both lines active.

For a simultaneous optimization of internal coordinates, the recommended 
command in optimize.job is to add  -min to the run-command:

runsp_lapw -nlvdw -fc 1 -ec 0.001 -min

An older alternative (usually not recommended) is:

min -I -j "runsp_lapw -nlvdw -I -fc 1.0 -i 40 "
