In this paper we study alternative characterizations of dismantlability
properties of relational structures in terms of various connectedness and
mixing notions. We relate these results with earlier work of Brightwell and
Winkler, providing a generalization from the graph case to the general
relational structure context. In addition, we develop properties related to
what we call (presence or absence of) boundary long range actions and the study
of valid extensions of a given partially defined homomorphism, an approach that
turns out to be novel even in the graph case. Finally, we also establish
connections between these results and spatial mixing properties of Gibbs
measures, the topological strong spatial mixing condition introduced by
Brice\~no, and a characterization of finite duality due to Larose, Loten, and
Tardif.
