For my understanding: Is there a difference between load and load-file?

Anyway, thanks a lot! That helped me quickly finding the source of my 
2 real problems:

I first loaded the second .el file with my custom settings 
from my .emacs and then afterwards overwrote these custom
 agenda settings like the agenda-files with the following commands
 in my  .emacs, which had been inserted at the end of the
 .emacs file... :-( 
By placing the loading of my custom settings from the 2nd
 file at the end of my .emacs, the 
problem was solved.

The other problem was, that due to a permissions problem, 
the evaluation of my .emacs file was interrupted at the 
(server-start) command.. 

Kind regards

Martin
