If you mean that you added calls to `message' inside a fontification
function, then it's a no-no, because fontification functions are
called by the display engine as part of rendering the display.  A call
to `message' causes Emacs to re-enter redisplay, which again causes it
to call the fontification functions, and you then have infinite
recursion on your hands.
