If your attorney and the judge for your case are co defendants in an unrelated separate trial is this a conflict of interest?

Can an attorney oppose you if he defended you in a previous case?
It depends on the exact circumstances. Having represented you in a specific case ten years ago does not necessarily mean the attorney could not be on the opposite side now in a completely unrelated matter. Many attorneys will avoid this even when it's not technically illegal in order to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.
