I know that nugging. Look what I have found for variable
`org-agenda-files' by using inspection with
{C-h v RET org-agenda-files RET}

,----
| Documentation:
| The files to be used for agenda display.
| 
| If an entry is a directory, all files in that directory that are matched
| by ‘org-agenda-file-regexp’ will be part of the file list.
| 
| If the value of the variable is not a list but a single file name, then
| the list of agenda files is actually stored and maintained in that file,
| one agenda file per line.  In this file paths can be given relative to
| ‘org-directory’.  Tilde expansion and environment variable substitution
| are also made.
| 
| Entries may be added to this list with ‘M-x org-agenda-file-to-front’
| and removed with ‘M-x org-remove-file’.

Maybe you could try the approach to customize it not to be a list by
single file name. Then in that file name you put files one by one.
