The implementation of the imports feature is complex and it has a lot of overhead, like creating and pushing the import file every time a remote command is executed.
Precommands are just commands being executed beforehand. This allows you to reimplement the import feature in an easy way, by sourcing an existing file. For remote command you may upload a file beforehand.
Besides an easier implementation inside Automatix, it is more clear to the user what is happening, when you use the feature.
