bash export function for other script non interactive

Question

I have a bash file with a list of functions. If I add to other script the header:

source /myusefulfuncionlist.sh

they can call the functions inside the file.

Is there a way to avoid this add to keep it DRY? If I add to /etc/bash.bashrc I can access function from user shell but scripts won't.

From bash manual startup files:

Invoked non-interactively

When Bash is started non-interactively, to run a shell script, for example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in the environment, expands its value if it appears there, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and execute. ...

Edit /etc/environment and add:

BASH_ENV=/fullpathto/myusefulfuncionlist.sh

and relogin and non-interactive shells should pick up your source file.
