I’m building a screen porch that will have 1×6 beadboard on the interior walls, below the srcreen openings and on the wall that joins the house. I’m planning to finsih them with an oil finish like watco or a transparant stain. Should I back prime the boards? If so, with what? The same material that I’ll use for the surface? Something that dries fast would be ideal. Any suggestions?

I think you'll be happier if you back-seal them somehow. Doesn't positively have to be the same stuff as the front -- a shelac-based quick-drying primer will likely suffice, if you don't want to wait for regular oil-based primer to dry.
