I use incbined lua via the bmax lua wrapper

the only gottcha is that lua_dofile can't read from the incbin because it handles the io on it's own. To get around this, I use something like

Local source:String
Local file:TStream=ReadFile(filename)
If Not file Return False
While Not Eof(file)
	source:+ReadLine(file)+";"
Wend

luaL_loadbuffer(lua,source,source.length,filename)
Local b:Int=lua_pcall(lua,0,0,0)
If b
	logError("Error - "+String.fromCString(lua_tostring(lua,1)))
	lua_pop(lua,1)
EndIf
