    You can't have your cake and eat it means the same as "you can't have it both ways" or "you can't have the best of both worlds."

    you must choose to "eat" your cake or "have" it. you can't simultaneously do both.
    You can't try to have two incompatible things

    The quarter circle shape of the back of the VW Beetle was originally designed to make it easier to paint the car, by dipping it in a vat of the stuff.
