Ah, sorry - now I see the situation.  The way to avoid polluting _G is
to load both of these files using the same environment (untested code)

env = {}
chunk = loadstring('sc.synthdef.lua')  -- compile
setfenv(chunk,env)  -- set environment
chunk()  -- execute

-- now variable is defined in env

chunk = loadstring('blabla.lua')
setfenv(chunk,env)
chunk()  -- should work
