You can define a variable for this.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar org-gtd-file "~/aktuell/mygtd.org")
(defvar org-gtd-other-files)

(setq org-gtd-file "~/aktuell/mygtd.org")
(setf org-gtd-other-files (list "~/aktuell/notes.org"))
(setf org-agenda-files (cons org-gtd-file org-gtd-other-files))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The fourth line can contain as many files as you want to be evaluated by
the agenda-view, separated by space.

You can use bookmarks, buffer-cycling, links or just define keys to find
the files.
