You mention three shell scripts, but describe behavior and effects only for two, and even there I'm not sure I follow your description. It is also unclear whether you expect the environment variable to be defined in all three scripts, or whether you expect it to NOT be defined in one or more of them. Moreover, it is unclear just how you are inducing Puppet to run these scripts for you, and the details make a difference.
Supposing that you are using the Exec resource type and its 'shell' provider, you should expect the scripts to be run via /bin/sh, in non-interactive mode. Note in particular that if your /bin/sh happens to be Bash, then that will result in different behavior than if the shell were launched under a different name, or if it was launched in interactive mode, as described in Bash's documentation. In particular, when started in that way, bash will run in non-interactive POSIX mode, and among other things, that means it will not automatically read any startup files. Of course, whatever script is presented to it may explicitly source whatever file you like (subject to any effective access controls that may be in place). Also, you may specify environment variables directly via the `Exec` resource declaration. You should also be aware that every program or script launched via an Exec runs in its own environment. They inherit very little from the agent's own environment, and they can neither modify the agent's environment nor directly modify the environment that any other program or script will run in. Some of those characteristics are intentional on Puppet's part, whereas others are simply incontrovertible characteristics of the overall operating system.
