You use the require function ( http://www.lua.org/pil/8.1.html )

require("A")
f1("my message")

As a complement to brianm, you can also

dofile("A.lua")
f1("blah")

or

local chunk = assert(loadfile("A.lua"))
chunk()
f1("blah")

Since require must be without the .lua extension, it isn't possible to load lua files with other extension than .lua. The dofile solution works for any lua file extension.
