I am sorry, the phrasing of your question is a little confusing. I am not sure what your question is. If you are asking if there are consequences to training him to use the bathroom inside now, then it is possible if you have trained him to potty inside he may not want to potty outside on walks without being trained to do so. Perhaps rephrasing your question or a consultation would be a better option for you if you cannot fit all necessary information into this format.
