Interesting question, Mahmud6! I had to think about that one a little bit.
When used as a coordinating conjunction, "for" is fairly close in meaning to "because." "While" has a completely different meaning: it introduces a counterpoint, not unlike the word "but." And if it's appropriate to the meaning of the sentence, it's absolutely fine to use both "while" and either "for" or"because":
