In bash's manual page it explains which files execute when. If you want to make 
sure all configuration files get read then you log out, and log back in. The 
only file I ever alter is my rc dot file in my home directory,  ~/.bashrc

That file should work how you think things should work. You're probably better 
off not editing the files in /etc unless you know what you're doing and have a 
very good reason.

Are you sure you're creating aliases properly?
