I suppose you aren't using the csh. It does _always_ execute ~/.cshrc
(that's the difference to ~/.login). Bourne-alike shells don't
provide for this, yes. They provide for ${ENV}, but for the first
invocation of a shell, this would become a chicken-and-egg problem.
Btw., i consider this an incredible advantage of the csh. Bourne-
alike shells totally lose in this area when it comes to things like
remote shell command execution, and adjusting ${PATH} for it.
