Difference between /etc/environment and ENV

Can you please let me know which variable has precedence . The variable in /etc/environment or the resource file ENV. As /etc/environment file is sourced for every process and ENV is sourced for login shells and sub shell's. i should see the value from /etc/environment file in my command(running as process). However i see the value of ENV though im not starting any sub shell.

Are varaibles in ENV used only by korn shell?
