I think the first one should be "including me", as an object.

"Myself" is used with reflexive verbs, meaning those verbs that indicate an action that falls on the same subject. while "Me"on the other hand is an objective pronoun. So we say "I cut MYSELF" not "I cut ME".

We say "Ali saw ME" not "Ali saw MYSELF".
