For completeness:  Those are the standard four personal startup files. 
I tend to ignore systemwide files, because I put 'set -o no_global_rcs' 
in my .zshenv.  (I've too often found that the systemwide files just 
contain distribution-specific crap that conflicts with my own settings.)

For a more in-depth discussion see the 'STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES' section 
in `man 1 zsh`.
