If your ex fiance owes you a large sum of money and files for bankruptcy can he include you in that bankruptcy and after he is discharged can you sue him for the money?

No, that's the point of filing bankruptcy. Suing him would be in violation ofthe permanent stay against creditors including you. He can have the bankruptcy court stop the suit and allow him attorney's fees and even damages.
If you had grounds for objecting to dscharge, you should have filed an objection with the court.

Can you file for bankruptcy after divorce and include the joing mortgage?
Filing for bankruptcy after a divorce when there are a lot of joint obligations can complicate things but it is not uncommon. When a person files for bankruptcy they can only file for their debt obligations and so the court may not allow you to do it for a joint mortgage if that would be unfair to your exspouse or they cannot separate the debts. This is something to think about and I would recommend you contact an attorney to determine what debts can be discharged and what debts cannot.
What if the debt is incurred after the bankruptcy filing but before the bankruptcy discharge?
When an individual files for bankruptcy, he/she must list down all the creditors and debts that they have. If the bankruptcy has already been filed and the individual has incurred new debt but has not yet been discharged by bankruptcy, that new debt is not included in the bankruptcy discharge. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel. It is really important to seek legal advice from the expert about filing for bankruptcy.
