The enabling of it used to be relatively simply with a single variable, but in more recent version it’s now reserved for org-savvy people. Hooray for http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.html
OK, I am attaching a patch proposal which will clean this up a bit.
It does:
- Clean up the variable name include-all, which is confusing
for readers of the code
- Make `org-agenda-custom-commands' have a default value,
which is a block that does put agenda and TODO list into
one view. Note that I have changed the sequence from Peter's
proposal, I am putting the agenda first - this makes more sense,
I think, and also reduces the likelihood that the cursor will be
in the TODO list when you are trying to move through time.
- I have *not* changes the problem that trying to change time views
in the TODO block will not work - this would have required
more coding and would create undefined behavior in some block
agendas.
HTH, please give me feed back. Bastien, let me know if/when
I should push this change.
Cheers
- Carsten

> Notice that org-agenda-include-all-todo’s docstring mentions ‘block agenda’, as does the ‘Agenda View’ chapter in the manual. But that term is nowhere to be found in Org’s customization options. You must first find ‘Agenda Custom Commands’, but there the docstring mentions “You can also define a set of commands, to create a __composite agenda__ buffer.” So there is a problem of terminology here.

However, out-of-the box behavior should suit beginners, and asking them to make a block agenda as the first thing to do is a bit heavy, no? (Have you seen the customization page for that? Frightening!)
