You might want to take a look at the Game Programming section of Lua 
Programming Gems, particularly chapters 21 "A Dynamic and Flexible Event 
System for Script-Driven Games" and 23 "Designing an Efficient Lua 
Driven Game Scripting Engine".

http://www.lua.org/gems/

I do not have my copy of the book with me so I cannot say whether or not 
they address your needs exactly, but you're sure to find many things of 
interest in the book.

Since you're familiar with the WoW API (I am not), then perhaps you 
could model yours after that. As noted earlier, it is the most used Lua 
embedding in the universe (to date).

Also, there are many different projects publicly available. Check out 
the Lua forge and the wiki, particularly:

http://luaforge.net/
http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaAddons
http://lua-users.org/wiki/BindingCodeToLua

Lastly, a Google search may turn up open source projects that use Lua 
with C++. My first hit was this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/558446/which-open-source-programs-are-good-examples-of-integrating-c-and-lua

I saw good commentary in:

Good luck!
