CentOS - May 2019 - root .bash_profile?

Ah thank you.  Having forgotten this, I already had all my aliases and
instructions in there.  For some reason they aren?t loading.  If I do this, then
everything loads:

source /root/.bash_profile

So there?s an indication this isn?t loading upon entry into su.  Is this normal?

$ man bash (INVOCATION)

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.  The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started
to inhibit this behavior.

But the reference to .bash_profile has some unclear restrictions or boundaries:

~/.bash_profile
              The personal initialization file, executed for login shells

First, the ~ which might not apply to root.  Second, it?s a ?personal? init
file, which also might not pertain to root.  Going from user to root (su) might
not initiate a login shell.  I?m not clear on this.

But, .bash_profile is not loading.

I have my aliases in another file called /root/.bash_aliases, which is a
duplicate of my /home/myuser/.bash_aliases which is NOW sourced in my
/root/.bashrc so it now works.

So ya, got it to work, but knowing the cascade of inclusions is important.  root
is as important to me as my normal user.
