For the journeys I have reservations for I do not use travel days of my 5 day one month Pass?

Hi this may sound dumb but I just want confirmation. 
I am planning a trip to Italy and have been using the interrail app to plan routes. I’ve noticed there are only 3 trains along my journey which require purchasing tickets… would these count as part of my 5 days ticket? If I book these reservations i

can travel the routes without using my interrail allowance? 

the remaining routes do not need seat reservations, are these journeys included in my 5-day pass and don’t require any extra payment?

Sorry to sound dumb, First time doing this!

thanks in advance!  

The reservation is separate from the pass, which is your ticket. So if you  buy the reservations for the 3 days you will use 3 of your travel days.

You always have the possibility to purchase a ticket with a reservation for one of the days if you want to travel for 6 days. 

If you will be travelling domestically in Germany during the summer there is the 9 EUR ticket which could be interesting to save travel days.

Thank you for your replies, greatly appreciated! 
To put this into perspective I have my routes planned with 6 travel days, and 3 of these days require reserving which I am happy to do. 
what I am unsure of is whether these 3 days are inclusive in my 5 day pass when I am having to pay separately anyway? Or would these not count? That way I’d still have 5 travel days available on top of the 3 I am paying for… 
If they are included, will I need to review my route to just 5 days (to meet pass requirements) or shall I buy tickets for one additional day so my full route is covered? 
appreciate the guidance received and I’m sorry to sound dumb with this! I just want to get it right :) 

This PASS IS your ticket-and only when a travelday has been activated, which should be rather self-evident. IF you ´forget´ to do this and controller comes along, you will be considered as ´back/fraudulent rider´ and can get fined according to rules of the country you are in at that time. As passholders certainly do have a solid reputation of trying to cheat often, they will have no mercy on you, the tipical (it seems is nearly always brits, unable to even grasp that other country=other custom) feigning ignorance will not help you-how could you otherwise even have come that far from this island?

On a travel day, you can use as many trains as you like. Whether or not they require a seat reservation does not matter, as long as you have one for the trains where it is mandatory. If a seat reservation is not mandatory, then you don't have to pay anything extra.
