Hello Mous,

Then you have to specify "containment" feature == refernce from "graphically" 
parent element to "graphically" child one set container for newly created 
"child" somehow using custom code.

In other words, AFAIK currently child and containment feature are both features 
of the same "graphically parent" element. If you need to physically put child 
node somewhere else - make this reference derived and implement corresponding 
logic in EMF-generated setter method for this feature.
