At the end of "The Constant", they made a big deal to show the page in Daniel's notebook reading "If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume will be my constant." This is written in RED. Red as a color could represent chaos, death, urgency, etc. This is clearly a VERY important message in the journal.
My theory is that maybe Constants can do more than just save a time-traveling consciousness, it can ressurect you from the dead. I believe that only Desmond can revive Faraday. I do not think this will happen until next season. Other cases involving such a theory could be the ressurection of John Locke and Christian Sheppard.
Christian Sheppard was ressurected by HIS constant. He popped up in so many people's lives that any one of them could be this. I believe that Christian was revived by Jack initially and through his interactions with other characters, has become more and more of his former self. But I believe this sort of ressurection is only possible ON the island. So basically: Island + Constant = Resurrection.
John Locke was resurrected by his Constant. I believe his Constant is THE ISLAND itself. We all know the island can heal. Resurrection is similar but to a greater effect. This is why John is special, he has NO constant BUT THE ISLAND. There could be one other alternative. What if John Locke is his OWN constant. It is very possible that while jumping through time earlier this season, John came close to his dead body from the future. I'm leaning more towards the constant being just the Island.
So how does this all tie in to Daniel's Notebook?
Whoever gets their hands on this notebook is going to see the RED LETTERS. "If anything goes wrong.." is not specific enough to assume it refers to consciousness travel. It means something more. Eloise told Desmond the island wasn't done with him yet, so I think they are going to get Desmond to the island somehow to revive Faraday. It could even be possible that this "resurrection" is not physically reviving Daniel's newly shot body. I believe Daniel will live on because Desmond can go back and talk to Faraday in the past, thus getting any type of information needed. Or even just to say goodbye.
One question remains, Why did Daniel write this? He had to look in the journal to "believe everything Desmond was telling him" in the Constant. However, I think that Eloise maybe forced Daniel to write that, because she thought that maybe Desmond could save him from her shooting. She was very distraught when Desmond was shot, this is because she knows that he is The Wild Card. Only Desmond can save Faraday.
This theory may have some flaws and be a little hard to digest but I just thought the book-ends of Desmond's story wrapped around Faraday's in "The Variable" forshadowed this type of Constant Life or Death Rescure.
