My current theory is YES, it does.
If as I believe, Madara is not in his true body, and the final coffin contains that (true) body, then Madara was hoping to be "Resurected" fully by being reunited with his true body.
I expect that if that body were to be harmed irreparably, Madara may be unable to move, or perhaps even actually die.
Nagato's deal with Madara may have involved him fixing Madara's injuries as inflicted by Hashirama, and then re-uniting body and soul, thus Making Madara "Complete", as I believe he once stated he needed to be.

paul i totally agree. i believe that that thing was one half of the deal.
I think it's a two way deal. Madara had to perform his side of the deal first. If you ask the question, why did Nagato even need Madara? Why did Nagato bother to take orders from Madara? Madara had contributed nothing yet to Nagato's world peace program.
I had previously believed that Nagato was being duped by Madara, but perhaps that is not completely true, perhaps Nagato expected something from Madara. Who knows, maybe Nagato was a party to Madara's Moon's eye plan all along. If so, Nagato may have been waiting for parts of it to be fulfilled before giving Madara what he wanted.

that was what i was thinking.
madara contributed with his name..intelligence..knowledge. that's what i think. but i think that something is missing.
what if madara was offering something like a fresh EMS to nagato (sasuke's EMS) for him to fuse it with his rinnegan, creating rikodou's sage's rinnegan?the one that we saw in jubi's eye.
but in the other hand...
madara knew that sooner or later nagato was going to die..he wasn't immortal and was in bad shape..
so he can put his avatar hands in rinnegan plus sasuke's ems
If Madara is really Madara then whats in the coffin can't be Madara.
Edo Tensai summons the soul into a new body. If Madara isn't in his original body, but is still Madara then Edo Tensai wouldn't work as it probably can't summon the "living" soul into a prepped corpse. Now if Madara is really dead and Madara is someone else pretending to be Madara then that would work.
Oh right have to dumb it down for some people.
Madara has to be dead in order for Edo Tensai to work.
If he merely got himself a new body then Edo Tensai would fail.
If Madara is another person entirely then Edo Tensai would work.
All we know is that what ever is in the Coffin is something Madara didn't think anyone else would know about. Its a secret. Which means there is an infinite no of people it could be that may not even currently exist in the manga so speculation as to who it is would be a pointless exercise in futility.
