Pass multiple sets of variables to theme function

If I want to loop through multiple sets of theme variables in my custom theme template, how do I define them in my theme function and pass them to hook_theme?

For instance, in my case, I’m generating an email body to send via drupal_mail(), and the body will contain a list of spa openings. I want to iterate through each set in the mail (the same way views templates iterate over views rows). I have my theme function defined like so:

/**  * Implements hook_theme().  */ function my_module_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path) {   return array(     'my_module_mail' => array(       'variables' => array(         'service_name' => NULL,         'time' => NULL,         'therapist' => NULL,         'booking_link' => NULL,       ),       'template' => 'templates/my-module-mail',     ),   ); } 

and I can pass one set of variables to the template just fine like so:

foreach ($available_openings[$tid['tid']] as $mail_opening) {   $variables = $mail_opening;   $body = theme('my_module_mail', $variables); } 

but what I want to do is pass an array of the variables array so that in my template can do something like this:

<?php foreach ($openings as $id => $opening): ?>   <div class="<?php print $classes_array[$id]; ?>">     <?php print $opening; ?>   </div> <?php endforeach; ?> 

What do I need to change to do that?

Thanks.
