I have a package with actions, messages and code.

The code references the action and messages. However there is a compilation error. It looks like the action include files are not found during the colcon build command.

The question is simple: is it possible to use a actions and message definitions from code in the same packages?

Yes, it is possible.

Earlier, I have tested it and it works. However, as stevemacenski suggested in his answer, it is better to keep interface definitions in a separate package.

You need to use rosidl_target_interfaces, if you are on Foxy or Galactic. Please check the following answer for detailed instructions: https://answers.ros.org/question/4021...

https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Tutori... seems to cover this.

I just refactored into a separate interface package, so I haven't tried it this way.

Yes, SLAM Toolbox is an example of just that. However, it is easier to have them in a separate package.
