I am trying to make my raspberry pi with flir lepton more mobile. So I bought a Eleduino display, with touch screen 
●5.0-inch TFT Resistive touch screen display, 800x480 Resolution 
●HDMI input 
●SPI connector speed :16Mhz 
●Lcd driver IC: ILI9486L 
●Refresh rate:60HZ 


But it uses some of the same pins for the touch display. The touchscreen uses SPI (serial peripheral interface) to communicate to the main 

Could anyone help me?? Is it even possible? To have Flir Lepton and touchscreen working together?

You can use the SPI chip select which is not used for touch, then this should work.

I have done similar with what looks like the same display but I got mine from AdaFruit.  Mine and I think yours too can use USB and will input the touch screen on USB.  The PI will automatically understand that.  At least mine does.  I don't remember if there was any special setup or configuration I needed to make that happen.  However you can search AdaFruit's learning center for the project that used that display for complete setup instructions.

I also 3D printed a case for it and the Camera and run the raspberry_video program with it to implement the portable IR cam.
