Try this:

local aaa = require "account"
print(aaa)
package.loaded["account"] = nil 
local bbb = require "account"
print(bbb)
print(account) --> global was created by module() function

-- try again by also setting global to nil
account = nil
package.loaded["account"] = nil 
local ccc = require "account"
print(ccc)
print(account)

the above works for me.
