Suppose that $X$ is a CW-complex and $Y$ a CW-subcomplex of $X$. Let $A$ be a closed subspace of $Z$ such that
$Z-A$ is homeomorhic to $X-Y$ and
$Z/A$ homeomorphic to $X/Y$ and- The closure of $Z-A$ in $Z$ is $Z$ it self.
Does it follow that the embedding $Arightarrow Z$
is a cofibration ?

You should clarify what you mean by "cofibration". The term has different meanings in different contexts. I am guessing you mean Quillen's model theory on Top, so a map that has the same left lifting properties as the inclusions $S^n-1to D^n$,

If you mean cofibration in the sense of Quillen, then no. You can get a counterexample in which $Z-A$ is a $1$-cell.
Take $(X,Y)=(D^1,S^0)$. I will choose a compact space $Z$ with a dense open subset $Ucong D^1-S^0$. Then, writing $A=Z-U$, we get $Z/A$ is homeomorphic to $X/Y$, as they are both the one-point compactification of $D^1-S^0$.
$U$ will be a spiral in the open unit disk in the plane whose limit point set is the entire boundary circle. To be specific, map the unit complex disk to itself by $$re^ithetamapsto re^i(theta+frac11-r)$$Take the real open interval with endpoints $pm 1$ and hit it with this map.
Now if $Z$ is the closure of $U$ so that $A=Z-U$ is the unit circle in the plane then I claim $Ato Z$ is not a cofibration. I believe this follows from the fact that $A$ is one of the path-components of $Z$. Suppose for contradiction that $(Z,A)$ is a retract of a cellular pair $(W,B)$. Let $Vsubset W$ be the union of all the path-components of $W$ having nonempty intersection with $B$. This is open and closed. Its preimage in $Z$ (under the coretraction $i:Zto W$) is open and closed and contains $A$, so it is all of $Z$. But then a point $pin U$ yields a point $i(p)in V$ that can be joined by a path in $W$ to a point in $B$. Applying the retraction, we find that $p$ can be joined by a path in $Z$ to a point in $A$, contradiction.

You should clarify what you mean by "cofibration". The term has different meanings in different contexts. I am guessing you mean Quillen's model theory on Top, so a map that has the same left lifting properties as the inclusions $S^n-1to D^n$,
