    -include is a funny parameter.  You have to put a wildcard (*) at the end of the -path parameter for it to work (or -recurse).

         
    Get-ChildItem -Path C:\MDaemon\Queues\Remote\* -include *.MSG | Measure-Object |
    Select-Object count

    You’re doing “something” wrong for it to read the directories as well. I’ve just tested my second example with x3 .msg files and x1 directory and it gave me the number of .msg file count.
