You'll have to store the table in the registry and look it up when you need
it.

Alternativately, a C++ enhanced distribution of Lua (http://luaplus.org/)
allows tables (and other Lua types) to be stored in regular C++ objects
(called LuaObject) and maintained outside the stack or registry.  That is:

class MyClass
{
    LuaObject m_obj;
};

m_obj = luaState->GetGlobal("SomeTable");
