.bashrc function is not working on Cygwin

Question

I recently installed last version of Cygwin. Right now I'm just configuring some alias and functions to use. Cygwin is reading the .bashrc file correctly, because some alias are working, I just have a problem with this function:

sublime () {
    cygstart "c:/Program Files (x86)/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe" "`cygpath -w $1`" 
}

What I'm trying to achieve is that Cygwin let me do something like this:

tom@tom-pc ~
$ sublime myfile.ext

Instead of this:

tom@tom-pc ~
$ cygstart "c:/Program Files (x86)/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe" myfile.ext

How can I solve this problem? I have tried to use single quotes and escape the path string and nothing... Also don't know which programming language is used to execute this functions, so I can't fix this.

Edit: Answer completely revised after comment thread

Looks like the problem is that your .bashrc has two parts separated by [[ "$-" != *i* ]] && return. The first part is executed for all shells, the second part is executed for interactive shells only. The function definition was placed in the second part and thus the function is not defined in non-interactive shells.

Solution: Put sublime () { ... } before the return line.
