Was Vicksburg and Petersburg part of the Battle of Gettysburg?

The answer is no. The Siege of Vicksburg was an important battle for control of the Mississippi River. Vicksburg was an important port a few miles inland, but By capturing the port, The Union could strike a devastating blow to Confederate international commerce and "blockade runners", as well as seriously interrupt any means of resupplying Confederate armies by river,
Petersburg was an important rail junction which was vital to moving rations and ammunition to the beleaguered Confederate army now fighting General U.S. Grant. After Petersburg fell, Richmond became indefensible, and the Confederate capital quickly fell to Union forces.
While both of these places were important, they had nothing to do with the Battle of Gettysburg.
