Thanks a thousand Daniel!!! Finally! there is someone who really read my
post and try to understand it before jumping to conclusions.

Sorry if I was not clear in my OP, to all those people who were trying to
understand what I was saying.
I have the following alias and function *already* defined in my ~/.bashrc:
$ bash
$ alias rd
alias rd='rmdir'
$ type dt
dt is a function
dt ()
{
pushd +$1
}
$ exit
exit
I.e., there are there in the interactive shell. Now I want to use them in
my script:
$ bash -O expand_aliases -c '. ~/.bashrc; (rd /tmp/ttt; alias rd; dt 3; type
dt)'
bash: line 0: alias: rd: not found
bash: dt: command not found
bash: line 0: type: dt: not found
I.e., even sourcing .bashrc won't work.
