Not quite.
From "info bash" , Node: Bash Startup Files

When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a
non-interactive shell with the `--login' option, it first reads and
executes commands from the file `/etc/profile', if that file exists.
After reading that file, it looks for `~/.bash_profile',
`~/.bash_login', and `~/.profile', in that order, and reads and
executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.


Note to Neil: .bashrc_profile is ignored by bash. You want .bash_profile

Hope this helps.
