The file gtktextlayout.h contains the comment

/* This is a "semi-private" header; it is intended for
 * use by the text widget, and the text canvas item,

#ifndef GTK_TEXT_USE_INTERNAL_UNSUPPORTED_API
#error "You are not supposed to be including this file; the equivalent 
public API is in gtktextview.h"
#endif

That's a good reason for not having a Gtk::TextLayout in gtkmm.
