Assuming you are using the same lua_State in both calls
to luaL_loadfile, you must be able to access all the
global variables (including functions) defined in either
of the two scripts.

Didn't you forget to put in lua_call() after luaL_loadfile() ?
luaL_loadfile() only compiles the file and places the compiled
chunk onto the stack. You need to run it after that, using
lua_call or lua_pcall.
