Try this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Global $aTitle[5] = [5, "lol", "lil", "lal", "lel"]
Global $aButton[5]
$form1 = GUICreate("test", 400, 125)
GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 380, 100)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 100)
$tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("lollil") ; <== changed
$aButton[1] = GUICtrlCreateButton("lol", 20, 50, 50)
$aButton[2] = GUICtrlCreateButton("lil", 20, 75, 50)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("lallel")
$aButton[3] = GUICtrlCreateButton("lal", 20, 50, 50)
$aButton[4] = GUICtrlCreateButton("lel", 20, 75, 50)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") ; <== added according to the help file
GUICtrlSetState($tab1, $GUI_SHOW) ; <== added according to the help file
GUISetState()
While 1
    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $aButton[1]
            MsgBox(0, "", "lol")
        Case $aButton[2]
            MsgBox(0, "", "lil")
        Case $aButton[3]
            MsgBox(0, "", "lal")
