    Still not clear. Update your question with what exactly you need (providing either the real CNAME/subdomain names or examples) and explain how you intend on using both.

No. You cannot create CNAME and MX records for the same name. A CNAME cannot co-exist with any other record for the same name.

But when you say that you need a CNAME for HTTP redirects, then you are mistaken. A CNAME may be convenient, but HTTP doesn't care whether a domain name was resolved using a CNAME or not.

So what you can do instead is to create three separate records. One MX record, one AAAA record, and one A record. Records of those three types can co-exist on the same name.
