The possibility was asked about in some Vertigo X interview.  Carey didn't
seem to have any concrete ideas about it.  The idea might be attractive, but
he'd want to do it really well, probably subtly, without cheapening either
character.  Which is hard, since it's hard to have Lucifer want to even notice
Constantine in any natural way; there's a high risk of a crossover seeming
like it was being done for the sake of doing a crossover, which would suck.

As for reconciliation, I think I'd opt for ignoring the discrepancy, or else
saying John was getting harassed by some self-important demon.  But isn't the
discrepancy contained within Hellblazer itself?  I thought the standard
Triumvirate (maybe with Belial instead of Azazel) was mentioned by name in the
first dozen issues of Hellblazer, along with an appearance of the twins Agony
and Ecstasy.  Am I hallucinating?  It's the Nergal storyline, I think.  Maybe
the members of the Triumvirate weren't named.  Surely someone can check...
