You cannot make a module with a module as input.
It does not make sense.
Either you create a module or you don't.

So you will create following modules:
module1.ko + module2.ko

Alternatively you create one module but using the individual .o files as
input which is more likely what you want - correct?

Then your Kbuild file would look like this:

Kbuild:
obj-m := dummy.o
dummy-y := module1/a1/a1.o
dummy-y += module1/a2/a2.o
dummy-y += module2/b1/b1.o

# Tell where to find .h files
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -I$(src)/include

And to compile your module:
make -C $PATH_TO_KERNEL_SRC M=`pwd`


I assume you already read Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt - otherwise
please do so too.

Please include the source or provide an URL to the src if you need more
help.
