I dont' think this is complicated. Although GTM works directly with LTM, from a client traffic/IP perspective they are entirely seperate. A client will send a DNS request to GTM (directly or indirectly), get a suitable DNS response with an IP address of an object on LTM and then establish an entirely different connection to a Virtual Server on LTM, using the IP address supplied by GTM.
Where you place Ironport will depend on what operating modes Layer2, Layer4, whatever it supports but from what I can tell, you should ignore GTM and place it 'in front' of LTM although I have a feeling 'behind' may be better.
