I beleive that there is an essay in The Histories of Middle Earth Volume 12: The Peoples of Middle-Earth that deals specifically with Glorifindel and how I and II are the same Elf.

Glorifindel came back to ME sometime after the One Ring was forged in the 2nd Age and aided Gil-Galad in the War of Sauron and the Elves.

I also beleive that in one of the Letters of JRR Tolkien, towards the latter part of his life, the good Professor postulated that both Alatar and Pallando (the Blue-Wizards) came back with Glorifindel and that they in fact did not fail in their mission. In doing what they did, the Easterlings and Southrons resisted the power of Sauron more than if they hadnt come to Middle-Earth.
