Who is first in line first cousin or second cousin?

Your first cousin is the child of your parent's sibling. Your second cousin is the grandchild of your grandparent's sibling. So your first cousin is more closely related to you than your second cousin and is "first in line" if you leave no living children, grandchildren, parents or siblings.

Is your cousin's nephew your cousin or nephew or neither?

Your first cousin's sibling (parent of the nephew) is also your first cousin, so in that case the nephew is your first cousin, once removed.However, it's possible that the nephew is the son of one of your cousin's spouse's siblings, which makes him best described as "no relation."Then there's half-siblings, and step-siblings.... the bottom line is you're probably best off leaving it as "my cousin's nephew" except in the specific "cousin once removed" case already mentioned.
