Manipulating tables from c++

["Robert Sadedin" <serenity@...>]

>From c++, how would I go about create a table (referenced, let's say as
'table1'), and inserting a table into that table (referenced, as 'table2').

I would like to be able to call table1:table2:getFunctionValue(), and am not
sure how to go about this.

I understand that to create a table I need something like:
lua_newtable(L);
lua_setglobal(L, "table1");
lua_getglobal(L, "table1");
lua_settable(L, -3);

Is that correct so far, and if so, how do I add the second table?

Thanks for the help,
