Can two, separated parents, claim the same child as a eligible dependant when they have shared custody? What about GST and CCB?

NO. They have to decide who will claim in any given year or they will both be denied, child support is also a factor. It is very possibly addressed in their separation agreement. GST and CCB will be calculated & spilt by CRA if the shared custody situation is on file with them as it should be.

on CRA site Shared custody
If you and another person share custody of a child throughout the year, and you each have a clearly established requirement under a court order or written agreement to make child support payments for that child, normally, neither of you would be able to claim the amount for an eligible dependant for that child. However, in this case, one of you may still be able to claim the amount, as long as you and the other person agree who will make the claim. If you cannot agree, neither of you can claim the amount for that child.
