We don't load anything when preview.sty is already loaded.

However, we have two possibilities to get our preview.sty loaded:

a) fiddle with TEXINPUTS.  In this case, our extension files
prlabels.def and similar will be found by the foreign preview.sty even
when calling it with an explicit path.

b) load our preview.sty with an explicit path.  In this case, it will
not be easy for our preview.sty to find the files like prlabels.def
for its own options.
