  Excuse me for asking a stupid question, but why don't you move the code from 
  one to the other? Would that solve yopur problem?

No, because .login only gets sourced when you first log in, but .cshrc
gets sourced whenever a shell is started up.  The latter can take place
more than once per login session, and it usually does.

Hence, different types of information are put into the two files.

It's not a stupid question.
