What Bob probably means is to have files
foo.lua
foo/bar.lua
and some Lua code in foo.lua like
require("foo.bar")
This is supported by kpathsea, even with .tex files (\input foo/bar )
and another bar.tex in the current directory.
$ tex foo
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013)
(/home/reinhard/texmf/tex/plain/foo.tex
(/home/reinhard/texmf/tex/plain/foo/bar.tex) )
No pages of output.
But when uploading the package to CTAN it's advisable to mention that
the directory structure is relevant.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
