Hello YouZhi,
Sorry, SWIG cannot do that.
A module in SWIG represents a single collection of functions which are wrappered together. Under Lua, they are all stored within a single table entry.
If you want two modules, then use two files.

---ModA.i ---
%module ModA;
%include "somefile.h"
-------
---ModB.i ---
%module ModB;
%include "someotherfile.h"
-------
Then SWIG and compile the two files separately.
Then you load each on their own.

require "ModA"
require "ModB"

Hope this helps.
