No where do you mention "safe." Since a CDO is one duty period, you get your 10+ hours of rest prior to sign in. There is no legal requirement to get 8 hours between flights in the same duty period. It makes asking your question irrelevant. You aren't required to get it.

Again, I'm not going to get into the safe or not argument. That is debatable and I think depends on the circumstances.
