Can a sworn deposition for a civil case be used in a criminal case?

Perhaps - but it is not a certain thing that it would be admissable. Maybe only if the individual giving the deposition had died prior to the trial, and that it then became the 'next best'evidence. If the person was still living, almost certainly not. If the person who gave the deposition for the civil trial was still living, they would be required to appear in person in a criminal trial.

What must be resolve first in a case is it the criminal aspect or the civil aspect?
If there are, in fact, both a criminal and a civil side to the incident, the criminal aspect will be handled first. The "state's" (i.e.: the "people's") interests in prosecuting a crime take precedence over the civil wrong against an individual. (Think the O.J. Simpson case.) Traditionally, the criminal matter will be decided first. This is primarily because proceeding with the civil case can prejudice a criminal defendant's rights. The civil case will wind up stalled because the criminal defendant can refuse to comply with civil discovery by asserting the right to remain silent. Admissions or statements given in a civil case could be employed against the criminal defendant. As a practical matter the civil case cannot proceed until there is a resolution of the criminal matter. For further information see the related links below.
