Maybe 

def test():
    rows = db(db.Table1.foo==db.Table2.foo).select(db.Table1.foo.with_alias(
'foo'), db.Table2.bar.with_alias('blah'))
    for row in rows:
        print row.foo, row.blah
    return locals()

should work.

Another way - if you can rewrite tables definitions - is to use the "rname" 
field value. From the web2py book 
http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer?#Field-constructor

So with 

db.define_table('Table2', Field('blah', 'string', rname="bar")

the query becomes

db(db.Table1.foo==db.Table2.foo).select(db.Table1.foo, db.Table2.blah)

If you want alias fields in a query without joins you could write

rows = db(db.Table2.id>0).select('bar AS blah')
