Not the best place, though many people will notice nothing wrong.
When you enter a subshell, you get another modification of PATH
at each and every level. Presumably you source or "dot in" .bashrc
in your profile. If you want the lowdown, I always consult

Aliases are fine: you normally only expect them to work in interactive
shells, and they don't grow like PATH and other environment variables
when defined recursively.
