Their importance is pretty much in the order you have them.

Composition is first, and if you don't have a feel for this / understand it, the best of everything else isn't going to help your photos any.

Good hardware is second, and it lets you go further before hitting the limits of what your hardware can do (shutter speed, autofocus speed, low light photography, etc).

And photoshop is a close but solid third. If you have a digital camera, it's essentially the difference between letting the lab develop your photos and doing it yourself.
