What I want to do is to take my binary file, encapsulate it in a PKCS #7
data message (without signing) and then, take this last one and, along with
the cert and private key, create a PKCS #7 signed data message.
The requirement for the input file that I have to sign is : it has to be a
DER-encoded PKCS #7 ContentInfo.

What do you mean? Do you mean that the PKCS#7 signedData must include the
content? If so the -nodetach option will do that.
