There was a writeup on this recently. As I recall, the gist of the argument was to primer, bondo, and primer again. This allowed the bondo to bond better and caused less shrinking or cracking later. I believe the topic was in regards to a fully stripped shell that needs to be primered fully. Bodywork would be done over the primer, then a final primer coat would go on before the top coats.

On American Hot Rod, the guys at Boyd's applied bondo to the whole car for blocking AFTER the metal primer. I know what you're thinking, but Charlie Hutton was one of few on the show with legitimate skills. Wonder what Bluebear's up to these days? Like we care!
