Aditya, When you create objects from inside a mod, that aren't in your map, you need to add them to the engine's render/object tree. One way to do this (I think) is by parenting the object using its setParent method.
I've never tried this with a brush entity. I would use your first object (the one you are pushing around), grab its parent with GetParent(), then set the parent of the new object using it. If you are using VisualStudio, you can go to Edit->Find->Find in Files and search the *entire solution* for CreateEntityByName or SetParent..should give you some example code..
