Do something like this :

1: lua_pushstring(L, "table1");
2: lua_newtable(L);
3: lua_pushstring(L, "table2");
4: lua_newtable(L);
5: lua_settable(L, -3);
6: lua_settable(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);

Line 1 and 2 was for create the table1 and prepare for store it in globals.
Line 3 to 5 create the table2 and store it in table1
Line 6 store table1 in globals
