Hi Maurice,

you have discovered that in a block agenda view, it
is only possible to *restrict* the range of files
used in a block, not to widen it.  I was not aware
myself of this restriction, but looking at the code
I see it is there.

The reason for this is that, in order to speed things up,
Org does some prep work on the agenda files before parsing
for the different blocks.  At that prep stage, all the files
are pulled in.

So you can get this to work by setting the list of agenda
files to all agenda files plus the extra file in the *global*
option section for this custom command.

The following might work (untested):

("no" "osm"
((tags "CATEGORY=\"openstreetmap\"+note"
	((org-agenda-remove-tags t)))
  (tags "CATEGORY=\"openstreetmap\"+note"
	((org-agenda-files '("/home/momo/org/ordi/carto.org"))
	 (org-agenda-remove-tags t)
	 )))
((org-agenda-files (cons "/home/momo/org/ordi/carto.org" (org-agenda- 
files)))))

This should work because the values in option sections are
evaluated before use (which is why you normally would
have to quote them).

Hope this helps.

- Carsten
