Gnosticism was a pre-Christian Hellenistic religious movement which influenced mainstream Christianity, and also produced competing Gnostic Christian sects.
Sufism is Islamic mysticism, and comes in many forms and orientations, from strict observers of Islamic law to freethinkers and "heretics."
Qabalah is Jewish mysticism.
They all certainly influenced one another, but are independent phenomena.
Order: Gnosticism -- Qabalah -- Sufism.

Sufism is a innovated group in islam and the followers can range from being close to a good muslim - following islamic beliefs or very very far from the truth.
Some wackos think they can become God and make a lot of things up such as spinning in circles!
