Ok, here's a question (as I missed the very first message): what are you trying to accomplish? If you just want to use functions that are in .bashrc in some other script then you can define the function in .bashrc and then
source ~/.bashrc
so, .bashrc has:
...
function dt () {
pushd +$1
}
...
and other-script.sh has
#!/bin/bash
source ~/.bashrc
pwd
$(dt $(pwd))
cd /tmp
popd
pwd
That will execute function dt (which is a pushd) with the current working directory, the function dt being the one which was defined in .bashrc
Now, for the alias you could define a function that does whatever it is want the alias to do, then create an alias that executes the function.
Then in other-script.sh you either recreate the alias (if for some reason you really have to have an alias), or you can execute the function as with dt.
If there is more to it than that you need to try doing your OP over again, only stating your problem more clearly.

Daniel
