adding a folder to my path

[LMH]

I think this is a cygwin question, though it is certainly a general 
linux question as well. I would like to divide up and organize some of 
the apps and links in my path directories (such as /usr/local/bin) into 
sub directories. If I add a folder to /usr/local/bin, that folder is not 
in my path. Can someone give me the instructions for adding a folder 
such as /usr/local/bin/ruby_viewer/ to my path?
