Bhargav, A 2-D map has inherent limitations when it comes to displaying a three dimensional reality. As far as I can see, you followed the right conventions by adding the level= tag to indicate the different floors for the POI. In the end though, the rendering engine will make the decision which point or points to render, and if they are too close together in 2-D space, points will be excluded to avoid overlap. The only way to avoid this is for the renderer to support leader lines [1], but I don't t think Mapnik does, as yet.
Another way to take away this limitation is a different rendering of the data, something like http://www.osm-3d.org/map.htm The wrong way to go about this is to adapt your data to suit the rendering. (For example by moving the points to another location so that they would be displayed on the map.) This practice is called 'mapping for the renderer' and is strongly discouraged.
