1. I wish all the best for whom who support.
2. I wish all the best for who support.
3. I wish all the best for whom that support.
4. I wish all the best for whom which support.

I guess that only 1 and 3 are correct, and 4 if the subject of action is not a human. It just surprised me why I cannot explain the grammar of having two relative pronouns next to each other. I would appreciate it if you could explain.

They're all incorrect. Do you mean I wish all the best for the people you support?
 
I wish all the best to people who support you.

I wish all the best to people who(m) you support.
Whom is grammatically correct , but it sounds rather stuffy to many people.
I wish all the best to people you support.
I wish all the best to people that you suppor
t. That is grammatically correct, but many people prefer not to use it as a relative when the antecedent is human.

... or do you mean 'I wish all the best to the people who support you'?

atabitaraf, would "I wish [X] all the best" work for you? If so, then rephrase your sentence as concisely and clearly as possible and repost it below.
