I'll try to help you, but can you rewrite your question. I having a hard time understanding it. I have a idea but a little better explanation will help me help you.

When you Clone/copy a polygon it copies into the same objects. Here are three ways to copy.

Shift drag
1. "Clone to Object" - This will copy an polygon into a new object
2. "Clone to Element" - This will copy an polygon into the same object

What you're trying to do only works with open edges. 1 edge can only have 2 polygons. You should first delete the polygon making surrounding edges open, then you can drag them to create new polygons. Or you can use extrude.
