Most likely (and correct me if I'm wrong, Dan) what he's got is several systems/logins. He wants a certain feature set to be the same between them (those feature's which he's placed in .dansbashrc) while there are other features which are unique to each login.
If he ever wants to add to/change that core feature set, he can simply change .dansbashrc once and copy it to each of the logins. If it weren't in a separate file he'd have to edit each .bashrc individually since he can't just copy over it without losing the features unique to that login.
