Unfortunately you didn't say what language & buildsystem you are using? In my answer I am assuming c or c++: as far as I'm aware this list cannot (easily) be obtained from CMake. However, I suggest a tool such as 'include-what-you-use' from the Clang toolchain. One of the issues with using CMake in this case is that it is possible to get a working build without adding a dependency for all the necessary files to the cmake files (e.g. by just assuming the needed files are in a certain location and including them directly in the source files).
