You can actually build a rats-nest in PCB, in very limited circumstances. (Select the rats layer, and line tool), It doesn't like you joining two objects which are already parts of different nets, which is (I expect) why the OP's having difficulties. The more useful answer.. Its best to wire everything up in gschem, as "back annotation" which might allow you to wire up in PCB, then fix the schematic to match isn't really possible yet. If you turn off DRC checks, then wire things together in PCB which aren't connected in the schematic, you will find it difficult to keep track of any mistakes for the design in general.
