PiL2 has a whole chapter 16 devoted to OOP, discussing both single
inheritance and multiple inheritance. You can manually mirror your C++
hierarchy shown above in Lua. If you want an automatic way of matching
inheritance trees, you might try tolua++, swig or other Lua binding
generators. This list has had discussions about them recently.
