It's simple enough. Put env vars in bash profile and functions, aliases and other non-env (completion, nvm, rvm etc) in bashrc. Put the latter into the former and they aren't inherited. Put the former into the latter and path appends and other non-idempotent edits to env vars don't work correctly. Though I personally use some functions to make sure my path edits are idempotent for ease of iteration when editing.
