You're really supposed to include ALL your debt in a bankruptcy, especially Chapter 13; you can get by with current month-to-month bills (utilities, etc.), but not mortgages. Most mortgages (including HELOCs) consider bankruptcy itself to be a default, so generally the answer is yes. You need to have your attorney bring the mortgage and HELOC into your plan.

What if you file bankuptcy and have a reverse mortgage?

The reverse mortgage is typically unaffected by the bankruptcy as the mortgage is usually left out of the bankruptcy- that is a conversation you need to have with your attorney however. The bankruptcy court may look at the amount of equity you have in your home and determine what type of bankruptcy you qualify for. A reverse mortgage can even be used to pay off a bankruptcy or a mortgage in foreclosure as there are no credit requirements on them. I suggest talking to a bankruptcy attorney for information on what is available to you from the courts side of things.

What happens when your home is in foreclosure and you have an equity line of credit on this home?

The line of credit is no longer usable and the bank that gave you the line of equity will be asking you to pay the balance. The mortgage holder will also be asking for the deficiency after the foreclosure auction. Alternatively, the banks may send you a 1099 early next year so you will owe taxes on the "forgiven" balance.
