I have read that the Mountjuic funicular is covered on the metro pass, but it is not clear about if the metro pass also covers the cable car. Can anyone comment?

Thx for this info. I am now also aware that there are multiple cable cars and funiculars! What fun...

Some follow up questions on the 2 cable cars that go up Mountjuic...
If I take the mountjuic funicular from Paral-lel up to its endpont at Parc de Mountjuic, then the start of the cable car up to the castle is right there. So I can buy tickets for the cable car there and go on up to the castle. This is the cable that has the 90 degree turn, very interesting. It seems we can get off at "the bend" for a view point, and I assume resume the journey on the same ticket. I think I read that this system is closed for Feb for maintenance but hopefully will reopen mid March.
The "Port" cable car goes from the Barceloneta beach area also to Mountjuic stopping just behind Jardins Miramar. This station is about a 1.1km walk to the Castle cable car mid point or base, but the terrain may make it to much for my wife. So I suspect we will have to ride both cables complete roundtrip! Rats :-)

Bill has a good suggestion. Note that the castle cable car only stops at the midway point on the downward trip. The upward trip does not stop. Also, the port cable car is the one closed until mid March, the castle cable car is closed most of Feb (5-25).
