Normally, yes. In this case its not necessary, because in my
/etc/init.d/firewall I call it as

. /etc/firewall.conf

This brings the commands from the files and executes them in the present
shell (As if firewall.conf was actually inserted into the
/etc/init.d/firewall script)

Of course adding #!/bin/sh to the top isn't going to hurt in any way
whatsoever :)
