Any .lua files in the top level folder will be able to communicate. I ASSUME that they are all being compiled as if is they were one file, so they can share function calls and variables.

However, anything inside of nested folders does not seem to automatically get loaded in. You SHOULD be able to use require. I see no reason at all why it wouldn't work, but I've seen weirder things in the past.

Note that the sort order is case sensitive, so on platforms with case-preserving filesystems (almost all todays platforms, including Windows) it makes a difference if you name your file A.lua or a.lua.

--#Main.lua
require "subfolder/filename.lua"

function Initialize(a_Plugin)
  --stuff

  function_from_filename()
  --stuff
end

--#subfolder/filename.lua
function function_from_filename()
  --stuff
  local_function_in_filename()
end

local function local_function_in_filename()
  --stuff
end

function LoadLuaFiles()
	local folders =  { "/code", "/code/classes", "/code/commands" }
	local localFolder = cPluginManager:GetCurrentPlugin():GetLocalFolder()

	for _, folder in pairs(folders) do
		local files = cFile:GetFolderContents(localFolder .. "/" .. folder)
		for _, file in pairs(files) do
			if (string.sub(file, #file -3, #file) == ".lua") then
				dofile(localFolder .. folder .. "/" .. file)
			end
		end
	end
end
