Good explantion of introducing broker at: http://invest-faq.com/cbc/trade-intro-broker.html
If an IB can do things for you that an FCM won't do, then it is worth using an IB. If you can get what you need direct from the FCM than why bother with an IB.
I would suggest you learn more about how the futures industry works before opening a futures account. You should fully understand the functions of IB's, FCM's, clearing firms, exchanges and exchange clearing houses.
Plenty of information is available at http://www.nfa.futures.org/
