I semi-disagree with you because Steely Dan themselves will directly point to
Horace Silver's "Father" as the source for the bass line. At least, so I've
read...

true that the opening lick from "ricki..." is a standard bossa nova lick,
but i'm sure that donald & walter would agree that it's at least a quote of
"...father", they only use that lick for interlude/introduction, besides,"
ricki's" not really a bossa tune. also they would have been familiar w/
horace silver's music.
