That would really depend on the contents of the extract. If the extract contains a significant amount of fermentable sugar, yes. If not, no.

These are the ingredients for the extracts I will use in a 5 gallon batch, should I still use the priming suger. Feb 23, 2013 at 2:18

The ingredients you posted on the other question
Orange- oil of orange, alcohol, water. Watermelon-propylene glycol, alcohol, water, natural watermelon flavor
don't contain any fermentables, so you should add priming sugar also.
Go easy on the amount - 4oz in 5 gallons is the upper limit what you need, so you could start with less than that, e.g 3oz.
