After some thinking, it seems to me that this is not the right thing to 
do.
As I said earlier in the thread, adding a file should be something
you explicitly request.

It you want to temporarily look at the agenda entry a file would 
produce,
you can always create an agenda restricted to the current buffer.  That
buffer does not have to be a member of org-agenda-files.

E.g.

C-c a 1 a
