When doing these caluclations do you include the Aileron in the Chord Measurement?</p>

In addition to always including the movable surfaces as mentioned you also include the area within the fuselage. It's not a big deal either way with a skinny fuselage but with some designs it becomes a pretty major difference. The SOP is still to include the area bounded by the fuselage.
