Within CMake you can access the list of message/service files of a package since every message package exports these information in via its CMake extras file. After calling:

find_package(std_msgs REQUIRED)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS std_msgs)

the list of message files is available in the CMake variable:

std_msgs_MESSAGE_FILES
