I can smell the "aspect" problem again ...

The original stuff to address this was John Furlani's "modules"
(http://www.modules.org/) but I've never used it and I don't know
how well it would handle the interactions that you describe. Most
of our own needs are pretty simple and we handle them with 
globally predefined shell functions that can source a bunch of 
definitions from a file, and a profgram called "pathfix" that
sets up the path variable in a sensible order.
