A topic is simply a subtype of cm:folder so to create a topic within a forum you simply create a 'normal' space.

You can see this by looking at CreateTopicDialog.finishImpl(), it simply calls the super class 'CreateSpaceDialog' finishImpl method to get the topic created. Then to create the post, this is just a subtype of cm:content, again you can see this being done in CreateTopicDialog.finishImpl() via the following line:

FileInfo fileInfo = this.fileFolderService.create(containerNodeRef, fileName, ForumModel.TYPE_POST);‍

It looks like you are trying to create another discussion association under the forum space which is incorrect, hence the error.
