I am not exactly sure what you mean. Why are you providing an explicit 
keep command when you want to sort the message further? I would think 
the following example script does what you need:

==
require "fileinto";
require "copy";

# Temporary rule
if true {
	# Forward a copy of all messages to gmail account
	redirect :copy "koshikov at gmail.com";
}

# File spam into spam folder and stop further processing
if header :contains "X-spam" "yes" {
	fileinto "Spam";
	stop;
}

# Mailing list
if header :contains "list-id" "ietf-mta-filters.imc.org" {
	fileinto "Lists.Sieve";
}

# Implicit keep will store message in INBOX if it was not
# stored already by the fileinto commands above. The :copy
# argument to the redirect command prevents that command
# from cancelling the implicit keep action.
==

I hope this helps you along.
