Should dot command log me out? Excuse me if it is not a kernel question!

Appreciate your help:

See this program named test.sh:

#!/bin/sh
echo $USER
exit 0

At the Linux prompt, type . test.sh
It will logout out and ask my login in again.

What I am doing is:

I want to do something in a shell program like this:

PATH=/tmp/bin:$PATH
export PATH

It never worked. I think this only send the variable to his child shell.
But I want to send it to his sibling shell. So I type . test.sh
