Second, I imagine it'll be less Syria's fight spreading into Iraq, than iraq's spreading to syria; the Kurds are taking control of Kurd-majority towns in northern Syria, and in so doing the declaration of an autonomous Kurdistan might be in the near future; which coul d in its turn spark conflict in Turkey, Iraq, and Iran.

Unless Assad and Hizbuddies manage to reign in "the rebels," then expect Syria to fragment.. .and with it will go any meaningful adherence to the Sykes-picot borders in the region.
