that's not how CNAMES are working

no matter which record type a CNAME will match and that is the simple
reason that you can't have A/MX records with the same name

MX mail.example-com
CNAME mail.example.com

TXT whatever.example.com
CNAME whatever.example.com

in both cases you need to chose because a CNAME with the same NAME is a
conflicting configuration which is not possible or redundant which don't
make sense
