If you are talking about this entry:

    How can include all org files in a directory in my agenda?

    You can simply set the value of org-agenda-files to a directory rather than a list of files:

    (setq org-agenda-files "~/my/special/path/org/")

it is correct as it stands: unless you are using a really ancient
version, org figures out that it's a directory and sets org-agenda-files
to the contents of the directory (filtered by org-agenda-file-regexp,
which by default matches filenames ending in ".org").

HTH,
Nick
