It is not clear from the manual, but the fact is this:
At login only one of
.profile
.bash_profile
.bash_login
is read, and not .bashrc; when you start bash interactively (from the
command line), it will source *only* .bashrc.
But of course, you can always source, for example, .bashrc from
.bash_profile:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
