I would say the most common approach f is to use metatables to hold
the functions instead of generating them for each object.  For
example: http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/projects/luaAV/browser/trunk/extra/modules/label/init.lua
.  It will use far less memory if you're creating lots of objects and
won't use closures for self like you're kind of doing but overriding
in a strange way.
