Am I counting the same foreign tax credit twice?

Can I claim Foreign Earned Income Exclusion if I am counting days from the previous tax year to pass the physical presence test? I filed a Foreign Tax Credit in 2012. In 2013, I am eligible for Foreign Earned Income Exclusion if I count the total days I was in country.

2012: I lived and worked in a foreign country starting in June; claimed Foreign Tax Credit for 2012 U.S. tax return.
2013: I continued to live and work in the same foreign country until May. If I include 2012, I was in country for 330 days.

Am I counting the same foreign tax credit twice?

Thanks!
