In the script, it is better to immediately indicate the path to the file.
Code:
. /path/to/config

You can also add a default value if a file is not specified at startup
Code:
. ${1:-/path/to/config}

--- Post updated at 18:48 ---

for example
Code:
mkdir TEST && cd $_
echo var=one >config
echo var=two >$HOME/else_config

cat script.sh
Code:
. ${1:-$HOME/else_config}
echo $var

launch
Code:
bash script config
one
bash script
two
