Matthew and Luke share some common material not found in Mark or any other work. So, it's generally thought that one of them was familiar with the other's work before writing his own. I believe most think that Matthew was written first, and Luke had access to it.
I don't think that "Luke" had access to "Matthew". The blatantly different nativity accounts show that to be the case. According to many scholars, they did independently have access to "Mark" and also "Q", whatever it may have been (whether oral or written).
