Have you had a look at ContainableBehavior? I'd bet using that would
be a lot easier.

Not necessarily. You could extract the IDs with one call using Set
class and then make one query using the resulting array.
$foreign_keys = Set::extract($results, '{n}.SomeModel.id');
I still think you should be using contain, though, and avoiding the
need for any of this.

You haven't given any indication of the *other* data, the initial find
you're making, nor how all of these models are associated. There's not
much to go on.
