Will this carrier be able to be ed into the Rackattach and then be able to mount the bike rack behind the spare tire carrier - hitch Rackattach swing arm Roadmaster tire carrier Thule bike rack?

The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195125 can be used with a bike rack with swing-away adapter but each of the adapters are going to limit/reduce weight capacity. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier in particular will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 33% and it weighs 40 lbs so these are figures you need to keep in mind.
