Yes, you can have multiple modules in one file.

For example, a DB module [1] could contain a DBCursor module [2].

Requiring the main module ('DB'), will load both 'DB' and 'DBCursor'.

You can further require any sub modules -once you have loaded the main  
one- to get a direct handle on each one of them, e.g.:

local DB = require( 'DB' )
local DBCursor = require( 'DBCursor' )
